## Motivation
The current MSVC build process is relatively slow. I'd like to be able to use the Ninja build system to speed things up. Currently it *almost* works, but the logic for copying files into the installation directory results in a bunch of missing files include scide.exe and several libraries.

## Description of Proposed Feature
Minimal changes to CMake files, shouldn't be disruptive to other platforms.

## Plan for Implementation
I have a working implementation [here](https://github.com/sadguitarius/supercollider/tree/ninja-minimal-fix)
