It does appear to meet my needs, at first glance, with any capabilities
it does not already have that I might need easily scripted. I'm having a
difficult time finding any reference to licensing, though. Matt Dillon's
explanation of cpdup suggests it is probably some kind of BSD-licensed,
given its inclusion in DragonFly BSD base utilities, but that's not
*necessarily* the case.
Reference:

I'm going to try emailing Dillon for clarification, too.
In any case, I'll take a closer look at cpdup. Thanks for bringing it to
my attention.
