I will point out that if xinstall copies directories, that raises the
question of how to apply mode and owner/groups to the installed
directories. owner/group should be safe to recurse, but mode wouldn't
be.

You'd have to have a separate mode flag that would apply just to
directories. A permission of 0755, for example, would be perfectly
valid for an entire hierarchy of directories.

Like I said, file copy (or just copy, after my commit) will in fact
copy directories.
In general, if you want to be recursive, we actually have a find
command in pextlib, though the only place I know of it being used is
in my fusefs port. That can be used such as
find basedir

I'm sorry to be so dull. You seem to be saying this:
copy ${sourcedir} ${destdir}
is equivalent to this:
system cp -R
