Summary: MSBuild parameter integration

Initial Comment:
I have tried to excemind this topic, but found myself lost.

There is a strong need for running MSBuild against a Votive solution, and being 
able to pass along variables/properties to the build.

Something like:

<MSBuild Projects="@(Test)" Targets="Build" 
Properties="Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU;Var1=blaa1;Var2=blaa2" />

In this case the properties send to MSBuild should be optainable within the WiX 
script, something like $(var.Var1).

Use the <DefineConstants> MSBuild property to pass variables to candle.
For example:

msbuild.exe /p:DefineConstants=Var1=blah;Var2=blah2
