I suspect that wxl files were used to batch build the msi resulting in n msi
packages for n cultures defined.   I used to do what I think he is doing,
using torch(or similar) to create mst files of the difference between my
base msi (english msi) and each of the other cultures, named ":lcid.mst". 
Then used EmbedTranorms.exe (or similar script) to embed it into the base
msi so I only needed to deploy one msi.  All of that worked great when the
base msi was deployed as a single file.  But embedding the transforms
results in problems when using a Burn driven model (I think because the
ProductCode gets changed in the mst).  The problems may not be obvious until
a 'on-demand' install scenario kicks in.  So to address that particular
issue I went back to including each culture specific msi in my bundle (which
has other issues).  Maybe this is not related to the original question, but
if planing to use Burn, don't embed.
