The files are also included in the binaries zip files so they are still 
available without CVS access.

Everyone can unzip but a lot fewer can use 7za. WiX is for Windows, so I 
think it's important to stick with a format Windows supports.

Agreed. Though NAnt is still required to build WiX, so the project 
should be smart enough to find NAnt.Core. When/if we're about to build 
all the native code through MSBuild, NAnt will need to be fully optional.
