The WiX Tutorial covers some of this but the process I used:
1. Copy all the files in src\ui\wixui to a new folder
2. Copy src\ui\wixui\mondo\WixUI_Mondo.wxs (or which ever base file you want) to the same folder.
3. Rename WixUI_Mondo.wxs and edit it to add/remove the features you want.
4. Remove any redundant wsx files.
4. Compile with: 
        candle *.wxs
5. Followed by:
        lit -out customui.wixlib *.wixobj
6. Copy the wixlib file (customui.wixlib) to your main WiX folder (where candle.exe etc is).
7. You can then reference the new ui in your wxs file:
        <UIRef Id="WixUI_MyUI" />
    and light against the new wixlib file.
        e.g. light -out Setup.msi *.wixobj customui.wixlib -loc WixUI_en-us.wxl
 
Hope this helps
 
Neil

After doing this, does anything need to be recompiled?

In the online help there is this paragraph: "You can most easily add and remove dialogs from the stock dialog sets by copying one of the existing sets and modifying it. For an example, see the project in the doc/examples/wixui/custom directory."

 

This example doesn't seem to exist, is it missing from the downloads? Is the example available somewhere?

It's currently broken, which is why it hasn't been added. It's on my bug list but hasn't come up the priority list yet.

All I want to do is remove the License dialog as it is not appropriate for internal releases. Is there an easy way to remove it?

What the example shows is copying one of the "set" fragments (e.g., WixUI_InstallDir.wxs) and modifying the properties and adding/removing DialogRefs to point to different dialogs.
