When I need to copy extra stuff into the runtime output path under Windows
for VS I iterate over ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES} when copying into
${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_PATH}.  If you need Eclipse support you can just copy
into ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_PATH}.  To vary between the two you can probably
use IF(MSVC).

As for how to do the copying easily, you might find this macro helpful:
