Fine by me but I'm not one that would be too upset by it. I think I use the 
.zip file most everywhere already anyway.

Only question I had on the PR was this means the inc files are shared across 
sdk MSIs now. Component Rules should be fine since we single-file-component 
everything... but it does mean we're subjected to them more.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Bug 4474: The binaries zip file and the full install have 
different content in the SDK folder

I just submitted https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/pull/115 to fix bug 4474. 
In addition to uncontroversially syncing the headers and libraries between the 
binaries .zip and the native sdk .msi, I relocated the headers to sdk\inc 
instead of sdk\VS20xx\inc in the installer. I'm fairly comfortable with this 
change; the mismatch means people had to play around anyway.

A nice benefit of this change is that the SDK should now be identical and 
therefore much easier to diff when stuff like this comes up (i.e., everyone 
forgetting that the headers have to be added to the setup).

Anyone think this is a horrible idea (or especially horrible for RC2)? 
If not, I'll write a blog post announcing it as a breaking change.
