My understanding is that for msiexec the curly brackets are only used to
enclose cases where there is two or more alternatives: {a|b|c}. With
{required parameter} being an exception to the rule, maybe because it in
fact represents a list.
It would be nice if all of Wine's tools used the same conventions for
the usage messages.
