Modify the wixproj. You can do the heavy lifting in MSBuild and then just pass
the constants across.
Ex:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<ReadLinesFromFile File=" D:\Project\ESI\Code\trunk\lastVersion.txt ">
<Output TaskParameter="Lines" PropertyName="SVNInfo" />
</ReadLinesFromFile>
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants); SVNInfo=$(SVNInfo);
</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
</Target>
As for the string tokenizing, you could write a simple inline task to strip
everything after (and including) Build.

file
It may not be the most elegant way, but I'm doing the same thing by passing the
contents of the file (first line anyway) as a command line argument to the
linker.
I use a .cmd file to run the WiX ci mpile and link so its just a bit of batch
file processing.
If you need an example I can get it for you once I get to work. Let me know.
