Changes to 'copy_file()':
* added support for making hard links and symlinks
* noted that it silently clobbers existing files when copying, but
blows up if destination exists when linking -- hmmm...
* error message tweak
Added 'base_name' parameter to 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()'.
Added 'make_archive()' -- wrapper around 'make_tarball()' or
'make_zipfile()' to take care of the archive "root directory".
the code a bit and should make it work under Windows even with trailing
backslash.
Fixed a couple of docstrings.
Added comment about 'make_file()' possibly being redundant and unnecessary.
Added global cache PATH_CREATED used by 'mkpath()' to ensure it doesn't

meaningful return values: respectively, whether the copy was done, and

from shutil module -- no reference to shutil anymore.
Added "not copying" announcement in 'copy_file()'.
Wee comment fix.
