I just implemented it using unix memcpy(). Doku for memcpy states it
does not work for overlapping regions, but IMO it makes no sense to make
that work, it only makes things slower.

I would like to have a test that fails if CPBLK does not work. Your test
even pass if i implement CPBLK as NOP!

No, but I will implement it as soon as I get some code to test ;-)
