I realized I'd have to clean up the temporary files; I figured I would
perform the clean-up step upon termination. I'll look into the other
places that use the source path (such as the pdb generation).
I like the idea of using the extension framework, especially since the
URI's I want to use require an SVN protocol handler anyway. The
extensions to the compiler and extractor are pretty straightforward; are
there already extensions for the binder / linker that I could look at?

I'm not sure this is something the core toolset should do. We really need to
stabilize the core. What about building this as a Binder extension? I'd
rather make changes in the core toolset to enable these scenarios via
extensions rather than continue to grow the core toolset.
Thoughts?

I am considering adding support for arbitrary URI's as the Source of

Binder.cs (inside UpdateFileInformation), are there any other areas that
may be affected? I figure if I perform the download at that point to a
temporary location, I can build the FileInfo from the temporary file and
rewrite the in-memory records to reflect the temporary file location so
as not to break subsequent logic.
You'd also have to clean up the temporary files and maintain the
original source path, so the .wixpdb points to the real sources.
