The simplest approach might be to look at what it actually installs.
If you want to read the specifcation: it's in
Tools/msi/msi.py:add_files. directory.add_file takes a file, and
optionally a source file (which defaults to the respective source
directory). You also need to consider the features structure; there
is a "current" feature at any point in time, and all components being
added get added to the current feature.
