It would be nice to add one more, "/?", just to be able to check the list of
available "standard package switches" or even show the options from a
bootstrapper application DLL used.

What's the directory structure for the resulting local image? Does
MsiPackage/@Name attribute responsible for that?

I see now. It's a BOOTSTRAPPER_COMMAND parameter of
BootstrapperApplicationCreate function.
One more thing. In documentation I've seen a notice of IBurnUserExperience
interface ("Building a Bootstrapper Application for Burn" chapter), but
couldn't find a reference to it in WiX source code. Has the interface been
replaced by IBootstrapperApplication and it's just a documentation bug? I do
understand that the current documentation on Burn is incomplete, so I'll dig
into WiX source files a little bit.
