Research direction

The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how the destination and files settings are interpreted for the unpkg provider, then determine how a package path such as dist/popper.js could be copied into the configured destination root. Done means the configuration produces PopperJS/popper.js without the dist folder and existing package lookup still works.

Description

Feature Request

Libman doesn't support the concept of moving files, which makes it unusable! In my configuration file below, the entire folder hierarchy in the PopperJS folder. All I want to do is copy dist/popper.js to PopperJS to get the following:

\PopperJS
- popper.js

Instead I get this:
\PopperJS
\dist
-popper.js",

There's no way to specify moving the file to the root. Instead, it creates the "dist" folder. If you try to remove the "dist" from the "files", it won't find the file in the package. Is there a way to specify the final directory?

{ "provider": "unpkg", "library": "popper.js@1.14.2", "destination": "Themes/Vigoda/Content/PopperJS", "files": [ "dist/popper.js", ] }
