Re: ::MsiDatabaseImport()

It is a bit of a pain to debug when there are failures however:

1. MsiDatabaseImport is a couple orders of magnitude faster to create the
MSI over using the SQL queries.

2. MsiDatabaseImport creates the smallest MSI files. The SQL insert/update
queries can add "hot air" to an MSI so we want to minimize their use to
what is absolutely necessary.
