I'm using emacs 22.3 and it copies recursively by default.  From dired
mode, simply put cursor on dir to be copied and type C (captial C for
copy).  The mini-buffer prompts where to copy to.  If subdirectories
exist, mini-buffer prompts if you want recursive copies (y/n).  I just
tried it and it works fine, which is cool, cuz I sure don't know much
about lisp, yet.  ;)
