Using a dummy VC++ project would work but only in as far as
automation goes. I think I'd rather just execute the
batch file I wrote manually as per Fernando P. Nájera's
suggestion, and keep the projects as simple as possible.

Just make a Bin directory along side the Debug and Release
folder in the Setup project folder. Make sure that 'Bin' is
versioned and 'Debug and Release' folders are ignored.
The '/D' option in the xcopy command guarentees that only the
newest binaries get copied to the Bin directory in the event
that you want to commit the newest binary whether they be in
Debug or Release.
