I changed the functionality in an effort to centralise the configuration
of the build away from environment variables. On my system, the build
failed because I didn't have the dictionaries, but the environment
variables didn't get set. I attempted to move the variables referenced
by WiX into the Includes.wxi include file, and provide them with what I
thought were sensible defaults. The intent was that builders could set
up their build once, and then leave it as is.

I'll try to fix the environment variables setting part of MakeMsi.bat,
then, instead. It does seem more elegant, what with not requiring any
file editing for new builders...

I've no idea whether it makes a difference. I didn't do anything to set
the BOM, as far as I am aware.
