** WTF ? **
gcp is a file copier, loosely inspired from cp, but with high level functionalities like:
- progression indicator
- gcp continue copying even when there is an issue: he just skip the file with problem, and go on
- journalization: gcp write what he is doing, this allow to know which files where effectively copied
- fixing names to be compatible with the target filesystem (e.g. removing incompatible chars like "?" or "*" on vfat)
- if you launch a copy when an other is already running, the files are added to the first queue, this avoid your hard drive to move its head all the time
- files saving: you can keep track of files you have copied, and re-copy them later (useful when, for example, you always copy some free music to all your friends).
- gcp will be approximately option-compatible with cp (approximately because the behaviour is not exactly the same, see below)

gcp was coded quickly for my own need thanks to this excellent and efficient language and its really huge standard library.
