Actually, the one last issue I can't figure out is if its required to override the EvaluateFunction method. From the link I mentioned http://www.atalasoft.com/cs/blogs/dterrell/archive/2009/01/12/extending-wix-preprocessing-a-how-to-with-reflection.aspx earlier , it doesn't appear you have to but I can't figure out how to do that.
