[CMake] Copying directory from source tree to binary tree

[Adolfo Rodríguez]

I would use execute_process and call cmake -E. If you want a deep copy, you
can use the copy_directory command. Even better, you could create a symlink
(if your platform supports it) with the create_symlink command. The latter
can be achieved like this:

execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/www

${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/path/to/www)

Hope this helps!
