[cmake-developers] [PATCH] Extend copy and copy_if_different commands with support multiple files

[Bartosz Kosiorek]

Good Morning

Finally I manage to add wildcard support.
I have taken SimpleGlob.h library from:
https://github.com/brofield/simpleopt

It is multiplatform, which supports all UNIX glob functions/flags and
implementead as single header library.

I tested it on Linux and it is working perfectly for me.

SimpleGlob.h library you need to copy into Source/SimpleGlob.h path.

Please let me know what do you think about that solution.
If it is ok for you, I will continue testing on WIndows and OS X platforms.

Best Regards
Bartosz
