You can use the -t:<xsl> (transform harvested output with XSL file) parameter to use a XSL-transform. A sample XSLT can be found here: http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Heat or search this mailing list e.g. at http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ for some samples. Additionally XMLspy has a good debugger to track the modifications an XSLT is doing on a XML file.
