* This class can be used to copy license files from package
sources into the deploy directory so they can be distributed.
* By default it searches the top-level source directory for
files matching COPYING* or LICENSE*
* Search depth and pattern can be modified using the
LICENSE_SEARCH_DEPTH and LICENSE_FILES variables
respectively.
* Thanks to Koen Kooi and Bernhard Reutner-Fischer for their
inputs and suggestions.
