We are using the DEVPATH environment variable in combination with
developmentMode in the machine.config in order to reference all
assemblies from a common location.

A post build event copies the target assembly for each project into the
DEVPATH folder.
However, after the 2nd build or so the copy command inserted in the
Post Build events fails since the IDE is locking these files. Is there
a way around this.
