Comment (by anonymous):

 I forgot to note: the permissions issue is a bug in coreutils.  The
 requested enhancement in boost is that there's no built-in mechanism to
 override what executable is used to copy.  The dirty hack I used was the
 only means I had to get /usr/bin/cp into the PATH ahead of /opt/csw/gnu/cp
 without allowing anything else in /usr/bin to override stuff in
 /opt/csw/gnu.
