Summary: Add File/@ForceLanguage

Initial Comment:
It would be useful if the File tag had a ForceLanguage
attribute.  This would make it possible to avoid ICE03
warnings when including files that have more than four
languages without suppressing all language output.

Also see:

I have attached a quick patch against
sources-2.0.2722.0.zip that implements this but I think
there must be a neater way of passing the languages to
the binder.  I have sent in the WiX assignment
agreement but I am not sure what the correct way of
suggesting patches is.

What is the specific ICE error that you see?  In general,
its a bad idea to lie to MSI about the
languages/version/hash/size of a file because during
maintenance mode, patching, and collisions it may look at
these values.  If the problem is that the string is too long
and it overflows the declared column length then I think we
need to get the column length increased - in fact there is
an open request to the MSI team right now to do just that
since other people are hitting this as well.  Ideally, we'd
just like that column to support an unlimited number of
characters since a file could theoretically have an
unlimited number of languages.
