MSBuild hack to copy output of a reference project into output. Reference project can be from other language like c++

	<!--
	I find myself using this a lot to coordinate incompatible reference types. but still project dependencies.

	Example 1. CSProj project referencing a C++ project which also brings some other native dependencies

	Example 2. .net core project running another project as .net48 executable, but referencing directly causes so much dll hell due to incompatibility of frameworks.
	This way you can put them in correct folder location
