Comment (by ionic@…):

 Hmm, `-pPR` is not really always equivalent, the man page on 10.9 for
 `gcp` says `-a` is equivalent to `-dR --preserve=all`, while Apple's `cp`
 says `-pPR`.

 According to the Apple `cp` usage note, it doesn't know the `-d` option,
 though, so meh. It will depend on what `cp` is being used and if users are
 crazy enough to add the non-g-prefixed `gnubin` directory to the `PATH`
 value. But that's probably the user's problem...
