Summary: Merge Modules combined with IgnoreModularization

Initial Comment:
Hi

When using the IgnoreModularization tag in a merge module on an ID for a file 
the resulting .msm does get created correctly with the ID of the file left 
unmodified.

However when using that merge module to build an .msi file light will complain 
(here the file ID was "python.exeF"):

light.exe : fatal error LGHT0017 : Failed to create cab 'c:\Documents and 
Settings\flub\Local Settings\Temp\s0z5_l_v\product.cab' while cabbing file 
'c:\Documents and Settings\flub\Local 
Settings\Temp\s0z5_l_v\MergeId.15C1031E\python.exeF'
with error 0x80070002.

When looking in the temporary directory while this is happening you can find a 
file python.exeF.GUID_OF_MODULE which suggests that when merging the cab files 
the IDs get modularised in the cab file anyway, at least during the merge 
process.

Regards
Floris

IgnoreModularization should only be used in very few cases.  In WiX v3 we
narrowed it's use to only those locations by removing IgnoreModularization
element (and provide an attribute instead).  

This is one of those cases of "don't do that".
