It seems to me that what I'm trying to do shouldn't be that far out of the ordinary, but as a workaround I can have the dist directory be src/dist/lib/conf which allows the conf directory to be placed in the lib directory and the classpath that gradle generates for the sh/bat files to be correct.

I'll accept another answer if someone has a better one.
