…ed OSErrors when attempting to delete the old file in file_move_safe.

This error was seen on Windows with Pythons < 2.5.  In the case where the error was seen, the old file is auto-deleted on close anyway by the Windows-specific NamedTemporaryFile support.

No new test because the failure could be seen when running the file_uploads test with Python 2.3/2.4 on Windows.  With this fix file_uploads runs clean in that environment.

While in the neignborhood fixed up the docstrings to better match the reality of what the code does and what the function is named.
