Beschreibung
Previously, premake allowed to do something like this on Windows:
postbuildcommands {
"{COPY} %{wks.location}premake5.lua %{wks.location}this/does/not/exist/"
}
...and it created the parent folders like mkdir -p does on Linux.
We relied on that "feature", but since premake automatically omits trailing slashes now, it results in an error. This is probably intended and always behaved like that on Linux, but I think it's actually a pretty handy feature and might make sense to be officially re-introduced on all platforms.
If adding it to {{COPY}} breaks something, I suggest introducing {{COPYP}} or similar instead.
