Eg. here (even though this is not the location where I saw it for the first time): http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/97509-cp-r-behaviour.html Basically, if you cp -R, the behavior differs between BSD and GNU when you add a '/' at the end of the source dir - I suppose there might be cases where the authors of the scripts/makefiles do not care if they have a slash at the end of the source dir, or not, because for the GNU cp, it does not matter. I'll welcome a patch that cleans it up if this really is the issue :-) - we definitely want to make the build easier, not harder.
