Subject: | rsync to copy files? |

I have learned that using 'rsync' to copy files improves the install time quite dramatically for repeat installs. Even for files that change sometimes (executables, libraries, formatted documentation), it is quite common for subsequent installs to copy identical files since the files are already built/generated.
Perhaps automake might consider checking for 'rsync' and making use of it if it is available (and works)?
