Er, shouldn't this be "modis" instead of "PERMANENT"?

AFAICT, g.copy *does* copy the cell_misc/<map> directory (assuming
that it's in etc/element_list).

Note that g.copy explicitly removes the reclassed_to file. This is
correct; however:

1. The code is part of cmd/copy.c, whereas the code to remove the
colr2 file is in lib/do_copy.c.

2. It uses sprintf/system ("rm -f ..."), rather than G_remove().
