Summary: MSBuild properties to Votive variables

Initial Comment:
You are supposed to be able to call Votive projects with a command like:

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

However this fails, since only Var1=blah are transferred to wix as a variable. 
Var2=blah2 are set as a seperate property and can not be refferenced.

If this should work, another seperator than ';' should be used.

You have to use quotes in passing in through the command line. This is
standard MSBuild behavior and not related to WiX at all. The semicolon is
how you delimit properties. You need to have the following:

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

Sorry for not being explicit in my previous example. I've verified that
this works.
