Create the directory tree that will become the source
        distribution archive.  All directories implied by the filenames in
        'files' are created under 'base_dir', and then we hard link or copy
        (if hard linking is unavailable) those files into place.
        Essentially, this duplicates the developer's source tree, but in a
        directory named after the distribution, containing only the files
        to be distributed.
