           Summary: Feature Request - WPKG to automatically create
                    variables
           Product: WPKG
           Version: other
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wpkg.js
        AssignedTo: man...@wpkg.org
        ReportedBy: peterh...@gmail.com
         QAContact: wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org


A number of variables are often defined in recipes which would benefit from
having WPKG auto-create them.

Here are two common patterns:

<variable name="PKG_DESTINATION" value="%PROGRAMFILES%\SomeSoftware"
architecture="x86" />
<variable name="PKG_DESTINATION" value="%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\SomeSoftware"
architecture="x64" />

If would could have WPKG automatically create 32BIT_PROGRAMFILES and
64BIT_BITPROGRAMFILES (or some other name), we wouldn't have to check in every
recipe.


And this case (similar thing applies to 'Start Menu' although the path is
different):

<variable name="DESKTOP" value="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop" os="windows xp" />
<variable name="DESKTOP" value="%PUBLIC%\Desktop"          os="windows 7" />

Here WPKG create SHARED_DESKTOP.
