The nearest you are likely to get to this at the moment is to make use of the
FileCopyPlugin I hacked up for the use of VMMaker where I needed files copied
fast without messing up type/date/access setting.

It's horrible, unclean, tacky but it works reliably and is implemented on all
platforms but Windwos - which ought top be utterly trivial to fix if you care.

For usage, scan the VMMaker code for VMMaker>primitiveCopyFileNamed:to: for
example. The capability ought to be incorporated properly into a decent file
name/stream/directory framework but we don't have one of thos.
