CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE now accepts a list of patch files.
An error will now be produced if any of the patch files is missing.
Previously this would be silently ignored.
The WIX generator incorrectly looked for installed file properties
by relative paths that included the component specific staging
directory prefix.
Remove that prefix in installed file property lookups when
generating packages with components.
The top-level WiX feature implicitly created by the WIX generator
represents the package as a whole.
As such it does not make sense to allow installer users to deselect
it from the installation.

Extend the RunSingleCommand signature to capture stdout and stderr
separately. Allow both to be captured to the same std::string
to preserve existing behavior. Update all call sites to do this
so that this refactoring does not introduce functional changes.
Preserve all but the last extension when generating .wixobj output
filenames from source files and make sure they are unique.
Output .wixobj files in cpack staging area instead
of the current working directory.
Added a new variable CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE that users can point at an
XML patch file. Fragments defined within the patch file will be inserted
at supported insertion points (currently Component, File and Directory).
Creates a hierarchy of WiX features from CPack components and component groups.
Switch to the FeatureTree UI in case components have been defined.
Handles the component REQUIRE and HIDDEN options
and the component group EXPANDED option.
WiX provides a lot of functionality for installers that cannot be
supported (easily) in the default WIX.template.in file.
For most users, the default template should be fine. However if users
want to produce merge modules, include custom actions, etc, this new
option allows for a hook into how the wxs is produced.
...revealed by the Nightly dashboard runs last night.
Use "size_t" instead of "std::size_t" so that it compiles with
Visual Studio 6, too.
Fix warnings about shadowed "tmp" local variable and ordering of
member variables vs. lines of code in the constructor initializer
list.
Use same technique here with UuidToString as already found in
cmGlobalVisualStudio7Generator::CreateGUID to avoid using a type
that is not defined on older systems... (VS 7.0 and Borland)
This new CPack generator produces an *.msi installer file.
Requires having the WiX Toolset installed in order to work
properly.
