the build step creating gmx.exe works fine, but the executeable is 
created in:

	[build_dir]/bin/Release/gmx.exe

the next step (the install) expects the executeable
gmx.exe located here:

	[build_dir]/bin/gmx.exe

and fails with:
28>  Creating symlinks for alternative binary names
28>  Error copying file (if different) from "[build_dir]/bin/gmx.exe" to 
"[build_dir]/bin/mdrun.exe".
28>  Error copying file (if different) from "[build_dir]/bin/gmx.exe" to 
"[build_dir]/bin/gmxcheck.exe".
28>  Error copying file (if different) from "[build_dir]/bin/gmx.exe" to 
[build_dir]/bin/gmxdump.exe".
28>  Error copying file (if different) from [build_dir]/bin/gmx.exe" to 
"[build_dir]/bin/grompp.exe".
...


manually copying gmx.exe to [build_dir]/bin/ and rebuilding solves
this, for now.
