On Windows, the docopt dll ends up in the wrong directory about docopt.cpp-feedstock HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks @kordejong . I'm far from a Windows expert. From afar bin seems not the right directory. However, if other feedstocks do it too it is probably reasonable. Do you have some reference(s) to cite here? Would you be willing to open a PR?

Here is an example of another Conda package in which the dlls are moved to the Conda bin directory. Notice the step on line 35.
https://github.com/conda-forge/boost-cpp-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/bld.bat.
Using a well configured CMake project the Windows dlls should end up in the correct directory automatically, though. There should be no need to move dlls after an install.

Here are the docs about the location of dlls on Windows:

I just noticed that the upstream docopt project contains a relevant commit:
docopt/docopt.cpp@d6a0987

It seems to me that using a version of docopt containing that commit is all it takes to make the docopt.cpp Conda package useful on Windows. The install step in your bld.bat will then put the Windows dlls in the bin directory instead of the lib directory.

I think this PR fixes this issue: #5
