** There is no point in going to asm to get high speed file copies. Since it
** is inherently disk-bound, there is no sense (unless tiny code size is
** the goal). Here's a C version that you'll find is as fast as any asm code
** for files larger than a few bytes (the trick is to use large disk buffers):
**
** To compile file_copy(), define Afilecopy=1 on the command line
** To compile file_append(), define Afileappe=1 on the command line
