I am not sure it has to be recommended. :)

As for BSD, Solaris etc.. I don't use these. I use 99% of my time Linux, 
1% on windows.

I think my question is more rather "How could this be done?"

Recursive copy can be done in pure ruby, handling permissions can be 
done in pure ruby.

What I however am not sure of doing is, how to replace those calls with 
ruby calls instead ...
