I'm sure that I'll get around to it eventually if no one else does, but I don't know how quickly. And if std.file.copy is being messed with, http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3862 should probably be sorted out too. So, there's definitely work that needs to be done on std.file.copy. - Jonathan M Davis
