Fun!  :)

More seriously, it is mainly an infrastructure patch, adding things that 
the upcoming RCP command will use.  As CP is far less complex, this 
allows me to verify several bits of machinery before moving forward.  I 
imagine CP will be tangentially helpful, but not a crucial feature in 
and of itself.
