>Summary: macfs.FSSpec fails for "new" files

Initial Comment:
In the mach-o version of Python on MacOSX, the macfs.FSSpec() 
library function fails for files that don't yet exist.

The problem is caused by (internally) using an FSRef to construct 
the FSSpec: FSRefs can't hold references to non-existent files, 
whereas FSSpecs can.

This bug also cause macostools.copy() to fail, making the breakage 
larger than I thought :-(
