Add 'Set destination for all contained items' for Project Libraries, LV Classes, XControls, etc.

[hfettig]

In the 'Source File Settings' category of the 'Build Specifications' dialog one has the option of customizing the destinations of the elements of the build. One very handy feature here is that it is possible to set the destination for all elements contained in a folder (virtual or auto-populating).

In the project tree Libraries, Classes and Xcontrols act like folders in that they have a parent item containing child items. Unfortunately the 'Set destination for all contained items' feature is not implemented for these parent items.

A work-around is to put the class/library/xcontrol in a folder and then set the destination for the folder but that makes the project look very messy.

Here are some pictures:
