Description

When a directory is given in the file-list of an `install-extension` command, the directory will not be properly created on Windows, due to a "nifty" feature of Windows' `copy` command (when given multiple source files, it concatenates them). `copy-file` in `setup-api` needs to walk directories, creating destination directories on the fly and copy each found file separately.

Attached a patch that still has to be tested on Windows.
