[Module-build-general] [PATCH] always copy files to dist dir

[Dave R. <au...@ur...>]

I proposed this earlier and got no response so here's a patch to implement
this.  I think doing this just makes more sense, since otherwise we can't
manipular files in the dist dir without affecting the base dir files,
since the dist dir could just be symlinks.
