I think the problem is that it tries to do a blanket copy of everything
from the misc directory into the target directory, but if the build is
not in a separate build directory, then there will be "out/" in misc,
which is a directory.  If there were a sort of "lazy" copy command (i.e.
a copy that just failed silently on directories instead of crashing)
then it could be used instead.
