Summary: Create Fragments allowing WiX components to be redistributed

Initial Comment:
Bob Arnson asked me to create this feature request following a discussion on 
wix-users :

It would be very useful to be able to reliably redistribute WiX components in a 
standard way. This would allow, say, somebody to author an msi to install 
server-based application components together with WiX and other files allowing 
the customer to create customised end-user setup programs.

For example, we could ship an application and the core files needed to build 
end-user installers. The customer would install the msi and the application 
would give them options to create their own installers for client PCs. This 
would allow the customer to specify things like server IP addresses, logos and 
various default settings. The application would then invoke the WiX components 
that had been installed alongside it, and generate a client msi.

In order to do this in a standard way it would be great to have standard 
Fragments (or even a merge module) to incorporate WiX into application setup.

Hope this makes sense and keep up the great work !
