The CopyDirectoryToHaikuImage rule can be used. There are already a few 
examples of it in HaikuImage. I'm not too fond of verbatim directory copies in 
general, as it takes a bit of control of what actually ends up in the image 
away from HaikuImage (*). Globs with "*" pattern basically have the same issue, 
so it wouldn't really get worse at least.

(*) Explicit file listings would be the most stringent, though in many cases 
laziness wins.
