Add what? What is needed to support it? If you can just tweak the makefile for it, send us a patch, not 
innuendo.

No, because the VM may be modified quite a bit, and the advantage of being able to build multiple 
versions or multiple adjustments of the same variant outweighs the (in)convenience of this one step. 
Look at the unix / beos Makefile - they perform the link step - just replace that with a copy call. The 
Visual Studio Project also includes a copy action. This is not much to ask.
