Yes. I think it is good to use IronPython in the Windows world :)
The main point in my idea is to use only scripting language for setup
developer.
I believe that using a compliled dll for a custom action is a bad smell.
We need to implement a wix extension (e.g. based on IronPython) to
support scripting approach.
BTW: Wix extension dlls are OK - remove duplications between several setup
projects:)
