Copies all required DLLS for Save Game as Runtime.

Under Windows, all DLLs are copied to the same folder as the runtime .EXE, so that the process becomes a single click and deploy solution.

Linux doesn't require this ( thx for info centralnoise ) and will update to work on OS/X after I do a bit of research on .a and .so files ( thx for info kaito ).
