This should probably go in 2.1.  I plan to fix `cp -f' soon too (-f just
truns off -i; it doesn't remove the target like it is supposed to).  Other
bugs in cp include:

- `cp -pR' doesn't preserve timestamps on directories.
- `cp -pR' doesn't preserve links.

These problems are most serious when `cp -pRP' is used by `mv' to move
directory trees across file systems.
