Add --package-name option to pcreate. This solves the problem

of scaffold creating an existing directory where the package
created should not be named after the base folder.
For example if I am in I run pcreate in ~/code/trypyramid.com and
would like to create package called tpc this is currently
impossible. This solves the issues by allowing me to specify
the package name on the command line
