This is a platform specific issue, no windows user would want useless
chmod attempts in copydir of course. 

Even worse Java doesn't have a notion of file permissions. To find out
what the original permissions might have been you'd need to evaluate
the result of a (forked) stat call for each file. Seems like a lot of
work for Ant to do.
