[gmx-developers] Gromacs 5.0-beta1 install fails on windows

[Roland Schulz]

The cmake -E create_symlink isn't available on Windows. Either we need to
force GMX_SYMLINK_OLD_BINARY_NAMES to be false on Windows or we need to
make copies (instead of symlinks) on Windows.

Mirco, can you verify that the install works correctly if you set
GMX_SYMLINK_OLD_BINARY_NAMES to false?
