Pardon me, but doesn't the -r option to cp do the same thing?
...truncated portion of cp man page:
cp [ -i ] [ -r ] file1 file2
cp [ -i ] [ -r ] file ... directory
DESCRIPTION
If the -r option is specified and any of the source files
are directories, cp copies each subtree rooted at that name;
in this case the destination must be a directory.

works good for me...
I tried direct e-mail, but the mailer bounced it back... must have been
gatewayed from arpanet. oh-well...
