Greetings,

A long, long time ago, I proposed adding a few more convenience
functions to filesystem.

  http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/08/109740.php

Despite a positive response and a followup patch, those functions
never got incorporated.  Did it just fall through the cracks, or was
there a more substantive reason those functions never got added?
Otherwise, it does not seem possible to implement "cp -a".

Thanks,
Walter Landry
