That will slow down some developers work flow as it will copy files that don't
need to be copied. Instead you should abstract CP into a make variable and
change it's default argument base on the platform support. But then you need to
patch pretty much all projects with gtk-doc (this is a commonly copy pasted
make snippet). Maybe you could just create a cp wrapper that ignores the -u ?
