- * Summary: Builds all the natives in this module for a given platform and copies the results

- *
- * Args: PlatformName - The name of the platform.  If not specified, the current platform is used.
- *
- * Example: gradle prebuildNatives_win_x86_64 will build all win_x86_64 native executables and 
- *          shared libraries and copy the results to the appropriate project/os directory in
- *          the bin repo.
- *	
- * NOTE: you must be on the appropriate platform for this to work.
