1. WixMbaPrereqPackageId is just used during compilation. The Prereq BA
gets the MbaPrereqPackageId from BootstrapperApplicationData.xml, just like
where I put the new information.
2. A use case that needs two supporting packages is using the await
keyword in .NET 4.0 on XP. You'll need the WIC prereq from the original
bug, and the MSU package KB2468871.
3. I'll have to think about that.
