Copy files instead of hard-linking on Windows

Browse Source 
Fixes an issue on Windows where when source and build directory are on different drives hard-linking
to files or directory fails as it doesn't work across filesystem boundaries. Note that symlinking is also
not possible because it requires administrator privileges on Windows.

The solution copies the files using the built-in cmake `configure_file(src dest COPYONLY)` command.
As this command only operates on files, if a directory is specified the files will be globbed recursively
and through symlinks.
