Summary: shutil.copyfile fails when dst exists read-only

Initial Comment:
(WIN32):  shutil.copyfile fails when the dst file already 

exists, but in read-only mode.  As the old file is

about to be

clobbered, a fix I've been using is to delete the

orginal file

first.   The attached my be inelegant, but works fine
