I haven't had time yet to review this patch (and the previous one) in
detail (pressure @work). On a first view, there is at least the problem
that `copy-directory1' calls the file name handler for `copy-directory'
- this is bad.

Why not adding this optional parameter to `copy-directory'? Then you
won't need `copy-directory1'.
