That will not work if you have something like "cp file1 [file2 ...] target".
Althought I have to admit that even that is not too complex. Since that
cp comes with unix I gather that the requester wants something more that
just cp. As in 4.2 BSD cp that has the -r option.
Don't mind me it late and I am tried.
