Well, right now you can do most of these operations using the Command
instance, which has methods like ensure_file, etc. But it specifically
doesn't have copy commands, which is a bit of a problem. And the
copydir modules, as you've noticed, is too separate and itself has lots
of functionality.
I'm not really sure what the future of the filemaker module will/should
be. I've moved the code into fassembler
(https://svn.openplans.org/svn/fassembler/trunk/fassembler/filemaker.py)
and that code is more complete and less buggy. But it's also a bit tied
to fassembler.
