here's my draft implementation. (thanks to Andreas Politz who pointed out
the dired-aux function)
(defun copy-directory-recursive (source-dir dest-dir)
"Copy whole a directory SOURCE-DIR to DEST-DIR.
Note, the semantics of source-dir dest-dir is different from the unix “cp”
utility.
In unix's “cp -R”, if dest-dir exists, it'll copy source-dir itself, else,
just source-dir's children.
In copy-directory-recursive, it always copy source-dir's children.
In both, the dest-dir may or may not exist. If not, it'll be created.
However, dest-dir's parent must exist.
This function is based on dired-copy-file-recursive.
Behavior about linked files, etc, are from that function."
(require 'dired-aux)
(dired-copy-file-recursive source-dir dest-dir nil nil nil 'always)
)
haven't worked on delete-directory-recursive yet...

Please, when adding information to an already existing bug or feature
suggestion, remember to reply to the bugtracker number address (in
this case, to 4408 AT emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com), and NOT to
bug-gnu-emacs, because otherwise you're creating multiple bug reports
for the same issue (every message to bug-gnu-emacs creates one entry
in the bug list).
Thanks,
Juanma
