Re: cp -d dir patch for review (or 'xargs'?)

Yes, that is probably not a portable assumption to make, but it is > far better than using non-standard options to xargs. If I'm not mistaken, the size of the environment is already taken into account by the xargs utility (subtracted from ARG_MAX). So this isn't an issue at all. Rega
