Like I said, file copy (or just copy, after my commit) will in fact copy directories.
I'm sorry to be so dull. You seem to be saying this: copy ${sourcedir} ${destdir} is equivalent to this: system "cp -R ${sourcedir} ${destdir}" But doesn't 'eval xinstall [glob ${source}/* ${dest}' fail if there are nested directories? So I thought perhaps your new copy command would have the same problem. I'm sorry we're talking by each other, but I have some preconceptions that I'm having trouble getting beyond at the moment.
find basedir {filter_expression} {do stuff with $filename}
Because if filter_expression = "*", then is there a tcl command I can use in {do stuff with ..} that doesn't care if something is a file or directory? Because I thought that the TCL extensions I've learned so far require me to know in advance whether I'm copying files or directories, so I wonder if it is possible for {filter_expression} to be "*".
