Description

This is a regression presumably introduced by #34:

00:01:25.881 Default  Info    Not starting Start Race menu, as specified not to.
00b4:err:module:import_dll Library libsolid.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\xavier\\sd\\build-win32\\lib\\games\\speed-dreams-2\\modules\\simu\\simuv5.dll") not found
00:01:25.904 Default  Error   Failed to load library Z:/home/xavier/sd/build-win32/lib/games/speed-dreams-2/modules/simu/simuv5.dll (Module not found.
)

Preliminary investigation

Since FreeSOLID is now built from a Git submodule, libsolid.dll, libmoto.dll and libbroad.dll are not being copied to the bin directory after the build, so simuv5.dll fails to load them when starting a race.
