Use hard links instead of copying files during builds.

msbuild-hardlink.cmd

msbuild /p:CreateHardLinksForAdditionalFilesIfPossible=true /p:CreateHardLinksForCopyAdditionalFilesIfPossible=true /p:CreateHardLinksForCopyFilesToOutputDirectoryIfPossible=true /p:CreateHardLinksForCopyLocalIfPossible=true /p:CreateHardLinksForPublishFilesIfPossible=true %*

or you can replace UseHardlinksIfPossible="$(CreateHardLinksForCopyLocalIfPossible)" to ="true" in Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets

Where can I replace that? I assume the goal is that when building inside Visual Studio hard links are generated.
