[data loss] installation script inconditionally deletes M2_HOME contents
------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-463
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-463
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement
    Versions: 2.0-alpha-3    
    Reporter: Jerome Lacoste
    Priority: Critical


I've set up M2_HOME to a wrong directory by mistake, and the m2 installer 
deleted everything in it...
May I suggest to use the same strategy used by the cargo installer?

I.e. 

if (target directory empty || m2 marker file exists)
- copy the contents
- add a marker file specific to m2
else
  warn user

See CARGO-27 for the original CARGO issue.
