Hi Sidnei!

----
Slight changes to IObjectCopier to allow copying without children. Its 
somewhat crufty, but I cant think of a better solution. Comes with tests :)

As we discussed on IRC, the 'with_children' thing is used only by DAV, 
and only with Folders.

I suggest leaving ICopySource as it was, and instead making an interface 
that extends it:

  class INoChildrenCopySource(ICopySource):

      def copyObjectNoChildren(key, copyingTo):
          ....

This avoids adding unneeded complexity to ICopySource.
