Summary: votive incorrectly caching project variables
Initial Comment:
I'm using an import statement in my wixproj to import a common settings file.
when I make changes to the settings file, the variables defined there are not
updated unless i unload and reload the wixproj from my solution.
For instance, I have a file path defined in a settings file, which is included
in my <DefineConstants> tag in my settings file.
The xml looks like <DefineConstants>EXEPATH=$(ExePath)</DefineConstants>
If I change $(ExePath)'s value, I have to unload and reload the wix project
from my solution for the updated value to get passed to candle.
Cleaning the solution didn't work.

This isn't a Votive issue, but instead an MSBuild issue. Actually, it's
behaving by design. If you want to make your project recompile when your
common settings file changes, then you'll have to put something like the
following in your common settings file:
<!-- This makes the project files a dependency of all targets so that
things rebuild if they change -->
<PropertyGroup>
<MSBuildAllProjects
Condition="Exists('PathToYourCommonSettingsFile')">$(MSBuildAllProjects);PathToYourCommonSettingsFile</MSBuildAllProjects>
</PropertyGroup>
Replace PathToYourCommonSettingsFile with the path to your common settings
file.
