def minimal_move(src, dst):

    """

    Move a source file to a destination path, in as few operations as possible.

    This is an experimental function which will hopefully provide a more

    reliable way to send a print job directly to a parallel port (e.g. 'LPT1')

    on Windows systems.  The function body was copied from

    :func:`python:shutil.move()` and "gutted" as much as was practical.

    Note that one difference from ``shutil.move()`` is that in this function,

    the ``dst`` parameter is always assumed to be a directory(-like) path, and

    never a "file" path.  There also is no check for the final destination's

    existence, etc.
