copy large files in Rev on Mac

[Mark Smith]

Well this will be non-blocking, but I don't think there's a way to  
monitor progress since ditto only produces any info when the copy is  
done, even with the -v (verbose) option. I think it's the same story  
with cp.

on shellCopy pSource, pDest
     get shell("ditto" && pSource && pDest && "> /dev/null 2>&1 &")
end shellCopy

This works on OS X, and I'd think Linux. there must be an equivalent  
on Windows.

Best,

Mark
