I think this is okay.

Use File to copy inside our tree (under common).  Use OBOSInstall to copy
to outside of our tree.  Note that the default build should *never* copy to
outside of our tree.  Doing so can break someone's beos install and even has
been known to lead people to think they're networking died for a week. :-)

I have no /boot/beos/share but I do have both /boot/home/config/etc and
/boot/home/config/share, which would lead me to believe that we should
have a /boot/beos/share separate from /boot/beos/etc.
