Duplicating code is really silly, and this particular solution has even more
flaws.
It's not platform-independent. Yeah, I know that you could make it to run
on every platform currently supported by euphoria simply by using "cp" instead
of "copy" on linux and freebsd, but I'm talking about platforms still waiting
for being taken over by euphoria. For example, you can't expect an embedded
system
to even be able to change the files it has in its memory. And this means that
programs that are generally portable, will have to be changed before being run
on
a new platform.

And yes, I advocate for an open source euphoria.
