This is more tricky than expected, because what we expect for a
"fakeinstall" is basically the structure that is packaged by "distTar", but
extracted, so something like:

   bin/syncany
   bin/syncany.bat
   libs/*.jar

If this can be done, you have to do:
1. run the distTar task
2. extract the TAR
3a. on Linux: point the symlink to the syncany shell script (in
syncany-cli/build/distributions/syncany-cli/bin)
3b. on Windows: add the "bin" dir to the Windows PATH variable (in
syncany-cli/build/distributions/syncany-cli/bin)

Hope this helps, Vincent :-D

Best
