In Windows, using CopyFileExW and CreateDirectoryExW (with a template 
directory, for copytree) doesn't agree with how shutil implements copying with 
separate copyfile and copymode/copystat functions. We'd have to extend 
copyfile() to support alternate data streams, and we'd have to extend 
copystat() to support file attributes, extended attributes, and 
security-resource attributes. Or we'd have to abandon consistency between copy2 
and copyfile+copystat.
