I know that cp -f definitely *isn't* portable. I forget where it
misbehaved, but it was a bug report against one of my earlier packages.
Unfortunately, it was for an old Makefile whose revision history I didn't
save when I rewrote the package as a Perl module. SunOS, maybe?
I don't know if that follows for mv or not.
