test case

The attached test case will generate an installer that installs two files to
'ProgramFilesFolder\duplicate file test'.

when run on Windows, the installer works fine. When run under Wine, the
installer installs the contents of file1.txt into file2.txt.

This only happens with Wix 3.5. This version added a feature called "smart
cabbing" that detects duplicate files in an installer and only embeds one copy.
This may be going haywire when run under Wine.

To run the test case, you will need Mono
<http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.10.2/windows-installer/5/mono-2.10.2-gtksharp-2.12.10-win32-5.exe>
and WiX 3.5 <http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102#DownloadId=204417>.
You
will need to put WiX's tools in Wine's PATH, or modify build.sh to give the
full path to the WiX tools when it invokes light and candle.
