The custom commands always execute inside a shell that can do
glob expansion.

Alternatively, use a "cmake -P myscript.cmake" to script the copy
with e.g. file(COPY) optionally with file(GLOB).

Generally we don't recommend globbing because it can accidentally
get stale files.  If you are creating files during the build step,
don't you know what files are being created?
