I have a postbuild step, which prepares a clean drop folder as part of the project build. Here's how I do it:

  
    ..\..\drop\
    ..\..\test\
  
  
    
      
    
    
      

    
    
    
    
    
    
  

Of course, svn export works as well. :-) However, with that approach you can't modify and commit back to the repository any source file modified during the build.
