If you really need to copy a directory use
${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory with ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND() or
EXECUTE_PROCESS()

fsousa at neptuno ~ $ cmake -E

Usage: cmake -E [command] [arguments ...]
Available commands:
  ...
  copy_directory source destination    - copy directory 'source' content
to directory 'destination'
