The Irix machines I have access to are really badly setup, but
their `test' does not accept -nt.
What I used to use (way back when) was `find <file1> -newer <file2>'.
It's a good bit more tricky to use since the return value is
determined by the command's output and because you have to be careful
with directories.

PS: I wish someone had time to re-implement rcp-handle-file-attributes
using Perl rather than ls, so as to get mtime and friends.
