Sorry: I missed your original posting on this. I'll certainly look into 
using the Emacs copy-file primitive.

(For some reason, even though I'm subscribed to bug-gnu-emacs, I'm not 
receiving all the messages posted. I note that the gmane.org
archive (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs) isn't receiving all the 
postings either. Any idea what might be going on ?
For now, I'll monitor the list via the lists.gnu.org archive)

I've just completed building emacs 22.1 on Windows using MinGW. Everything
went well. I note, however, that the install doesn't preserve the file
date/time/etc for the files copied to the install dirs (when the install dirs
are different than the build dirs). It seems to me that the date/time/etc
should be preserved.

The patch below (created using 'cvs diff') changes the definition of CP and
CP_DIR in the gmake.defs and nmake.defs files in nt/ to use the 'p' option.
