Summary: a move function for shutil.py

Initial Comment:
Although shutil.py has some nice copy functions but no
real equivalent of mv(1).  This is a very simple
implimentation (as in not a whole lot of stuff has been
implimented) but it's functional.  Simply calls rename,
and if that fails tries to copy and unlink.

This is OK, but only perpetuates the problem with this
module -- it doesn't have a decent error handling strategy
(prints to stdout!?!?!?!).

If someone wants to put some more effort in this, I would
recommend at least adding an option to copytree() to control
error handling.
