Copy assemblies to build directory using MSBuild task

I'm new to MSBuild and was wondering how could you copy all files in your lib directory to your build directory? if you could point to some online resource that would be fine.

visual studio uses ItemGroup/Reference and ItemGroup/Content for this

<ItemGroup>
<Reference Include="nunit.framework,...">
  <HintPath>..\..\..\lib\nunit.framework.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

<Content Include="TestData\nwind.mdb">
  <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</Content>

You can use a copy task. Refer to this URL(definition and example): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3e54c37h.aspx
