Move installer code to WiX

[Ytrog]

It might be an idea to move the installer build from an installer project to WiX. This is supported in VS2012 (with a plugin) and uses just XML as an input. It is also supported in MSBuild.

See: http:https://wixtoolset.org/

Agreed, I'd definitely like to move the installer over to WiX, just haven't had time or motivation. Creating installers, especially with WiX, isn't very fun.

I know making installers sucks. I hate to do it myself :P
The problem is that the old way isn't supported in the new developer tools and that WiX makes for leaner installers.
But agreed, it is something people, including me, hate as much as writing documentation.

So it wasn't too bad to do a conversion from vdproj to wixproj using WiX's dark.exe. It's not pretty but at least VS 2010 won't be a requirement to build anymore.
