Copies a file or directory to a new file
or directory. Files are only copied if the source file is newer
than the destination file, or when the destination file does not
exist. It is possible to explicitly overwrite existing files.
This implementation is based on Arnout Kuiper's initial design
document, the following mailing list discussions, and the
copyfile/copydir tasks.

| flatten |
When copying directory trees, the files can be "flattened"
