Sounds OK, except for the fact that delete-directory is implemented in
C, so you'd have to code the recursion in C as well.

If we were starting over from scratch, that would be fine, but I'm
afraid that some code somewhere relies on the fact that copy-file only
copies files and not directories. And of course, copy-file is also
implemented in C, so you'd have to code the recursion in C as well.
