This command is intended only for use by the ProjectBuilder makefiles in /NextDeveloper/Makefiles/app. It is used in copying resources such as .tiff files and .nib directories into the destination wrapper directory (e.g., MissionCritical.app). The files are copied so the entire wrapper can be tar'ed away for deployment (using ln.1 would be insufficient for some situations). The fastcp.1 command is used, because it would be too costly to make copies of all files on every invocation of make (just in case some file might have changed).
fastcp does not optimize copying of symbolically linked source files. Linked source files will always be copied.
fastcp always checks write permission on the destination directory, even when there is nothing to copy. This can turn out to be a problem when different users are sharing the same development area.
