And break the code on who knows how many other systems? No thanks.
If we want to do anything at all with this code, we should eliminate the
use of system("cp") entirely in favor of doing the recursive copy logic
ourselves. We already have the beginnings of same in the Windows port,
and I think we'll be forced down that path anyway for tablespaces.
