Summary: Support ProgIdRef
Initial Comment:
In a scenario where two mutually exclusively installed
components register an identical COM component, the
ProdId definitions clash if the whole Class & ProdId
tables are repeated, as ProgIds are not specific to a
component.
A ProgIdRef element would allow one to reference an
existing definition.
Currently, I don't see a way to generate the Class tables
with the proper default ProdId without the use of
CustomTables.
<Component Id="ansi">
<Class ...>
<ProgId Id="SharedProgId" ... />
</Class ...>
</Component>
<Component Id="unicode">
<Class ...>
<ProgIdRef Id="SharedProgId" />
</Class ...>
</Component>

This is a good catch. The proposed fix looks like it might
need a slight tweak though. We basically, need to support
multiple versioned progids for a single version-independent
progid. We should not support assigning multiple CLSID to
the same versioned progid.
So we should support something like this:
<Component>
<ProgId Id="unversioned" .../>
<Class ...>
<ProgId="versioned.1" ...>
<ProgIdRef Id="unversioned" />
</ProgId
</Class>
</Component>
<Component>
<Class ...>
<ProgId="versioned.2" ...>
<ProgIdRef Id="unversioned" />
</ProgId
</Class>
</Component>
We should also consider deprecating ProgId under Component
elements (since this relationship doesn't exist in the MSI)
and instead allow a ProgId under Product, Module, and
Fragment for scenarios in which its shared.
