'copies' does not work correctly when the source is a file generated in the same project #13

Apparently 'copies' is not working correctly in all cases in which the 
source file is generated in the same project.

In particular look at:
npapi_layout_test_plugin.dll
in test_shell.gyp

Copies are currently implemented in VS as a build rule with an 
AdditionalDependencies 
on the source of the copy.  This means that VS tries to do the copy before the 
build, 
whereas gyp defines 'copies' as a post-build action.  VS post build actions 
have some 
hairy properties, so this may be a little involved to fix.
