1. The .vcxproj projects are translated from very old Nant build files that
were designed to work with VS2005 and later VS2008 then VS2010. It is very
possible that newer features that would be very beneficial are missing
since we've multi-targeted compilers for so long (and multi-targeting
compilers is *so* painful).
2. I tried to streamline all of the WiX project files to have only the
information necessary per project in the project files. The rest is
centralized so that we get the exact same settings across all the tools. If
there are ways to improve this, I'm happy to discuss it. <smile/>
PS: I find the default layout of a .vcxproj really frustrating. VS
duplicates information in Debug/Release configuration and generally makes a
confusing mess of project files. I found hand editing necessary to maintain
a high level of consistency across the whole of the WiX toolset.
