Remarks
The fact that this is a string[] makes the following illegal:
<CreateItem AdditionalMetadata="TargetPath=@(OutputPathItem)" />
The engine fails on this because it doesn't like item lists being concatenated with string
constants when the data is being passed into an array parameter. So the workaround is to
write this in the project file:
<CreateItem AdditionalMetadata="@(OutputPathItem->'TargetPath=%(Identity)')" />
