Hi Nils, Yes, I was happy to see that you just added the ability to specify WIX Light and Candle extensions to CMake. I built the next branch from source and adding WixFirewallExtension worked just fine.
I would be agreeable to a CMake list variable with key-value (target - xml snippet?) pairs to embed within the File target, although more investigation of the WIX elements will be required to figure out if this will be sufficient for all use cases. The optional XML input file sounds like a workable idea too. I'm not a CMake developer though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :).
