Description

Issue

The conda-build docs don't have explicit information on where executables, DLLs, and other binaries should be placed for packages built for Windows. See the (conda-forge issue)[https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/26] on the subject.

Doc to Update

https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/user-guide/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-set-during-the-build-process seems like the best place to be more explicit with that information.

Contributor guide
