This is great, thanks!

Something like is needed, yes, but can I make a suggestion?  Change
the property name to overwrite.ext.etc (follows existing naming
conventions) with the following behavior:

If true, copy ${ext.name}/etc to ${idp.home}/etc and overwrite
anything that's there.  If false (default), copy ${ext.name}/etc to
${idp.home}/etc but do not overwrite any existing files.  This
precludes the need to modify the property after the initial install.

Thanks,
Tom
