iterators in copy::

[John Gray]

iterators don't appear to work on the copy stanza?  This sure would 
allow me to reduce the length of the stanza (I have a number of options 
of each file, so it gets rather long).

I was hoping to do something like:

files = ( /etc/hosts.allow:/etc/hosts.deny:/etc/inetd.conf:...)
$(mf)$(files)   dest=$(files)
                mode=644
                owner=root
                group=root
                type=checksum
                server=server.domain.com

then repeat this for another set of files with slightly different options.

Over quite a number of files, I only use about 5 different sets of options.

Did I just get the syntax wrong?  Is there another way to apply a bunch 
options to a set of files without expanding them all out?

Thanks,

John
