Reorganization: ripped util.py to shreds, creating in the process:
- file_util.py: operations on single files - dir_util.py: operations on whole directories or directory trees - dep_util.py: simple timestamp-based dependency analysis - archive_util.py: creation of archive (tar, zip, ...) files The functions left in util.py are miscellany that don't fit in any of the new files.
