I asked a similar question sometime ago and I believe the official source is held within Microsoft and then republished to CVS. The copy in CVS tends to lag behind the wix-sources.zip as republishing is manual. There are also issues with the CVS copy in that it has quite a lot of broken binary files. I have documented some of the things you need to do to build the source here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-create-wix-build-mach ine.html. It focuses on WiX3 but I think it would apply to WiX3.5 (although the last time I tried a build of 3.5 it failed due to the binary issues in CVS and files missing from the zip).
I would say that if you only want to rebuild extensions then the source is complete.

As part of our efforts we would like to enhance Wix by some parts and (hopefully) share the results with you. In addition we are willing to provide some effort into fixing problems with Wix. The question is now: Where's the source code? With every weekly release you are providing wix-sources.zip which is more or less complete. The CVS repository on SF hasn't even been updated since weeks. Do you have a different repository than CVS somewhere?
