[mapguide-internals] About the WiX installer

I think Jason made that decision, so he can probably answer better.

I prefer to keep it as a single installer, because you need both anyway, 
so this way there is only one download.
Most users do not have multiple machines, and just want to install 
everything and try it out.
Experienced users, can just de-select the parts they dislike, and 
install the desired components on seperate machines.
