>Summary: New Patch system should allow you to set validation

Initial Comment:
Currently, all patches created via the new patch system in WiX 3 have the 
following validation:

ErrorAddExistingRow | ErrorDeleteMissingRow | ErrorAddExistingTable | 
ErrorDeleteMissingTable | ErrorUpdateMissingRow | ValidateProduct

The value is 0x2001f (the validation bits = 0x2, error bits 0x1f)

The recommended validation bits (from PatchWiz) is 0x922 (according to 
http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2005/11/04/487044.aspx and 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa372066).

Having the ability to configure this value would make the patch system more 
usable. As it is, the validation does no product version checking, which leads 
to patches which apply to any version of the product code. Adding thie 
enhancement would allow patches to be configured to match their target more 
exactly.

Ideally, this should be exposed in the XML to allow the patch definition to 
control the way the bits are generated and used.
