[WiX-users] Setting property values based on Visual Studio build configurations.

I want to build an msi under debug with a specific set of values (that make sense in my dev env) versus release (which make sense in a prod env). As they are all public, users can modify them via the command line however they all populate default values used in various dialogs and it would be ti
