Why isn't the latter option a valid solution? I believe that's what I suggested 
at the end of the pull request.

I forgot to mention that as long as it's that easy to bypass the requirements 
of OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD, I don't mind that this isn't incorporated into the 
toolset.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Building MBA from local build
Yesterday, I sent a pull 
request<https://wix.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/seanhall/buildwix/contribution/6290>
 to add the UNOFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD property.  This allowed the ability to compile 
WiX such that the build can be used on other machines, while skipping the 
requirements of OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD.  Rob declined it, so I thought I would 
explain why I need to create my own build that can be used on other machines.

I am getting ready to release an installer with an MBA that relies on the 4 
pull requests that I have submitted against wix39.  Like all MBA's, it 
references BootstrapperCore.dll.  This means that if I build my installer 
without an official build, then the installer can only run on the build machine.

There's two different ways to solve this problem.  One is to address the 
problems created by strong naming BootstrapperCore.dll, which is what my pull 
request was trying to do.

The other is to incorporate my changes into an official build.  Since we're all 
volunteers, I don't see this as a valid solution.
