At work we keep the required stable UUIDs in an ConfigParser-format
file checked in to the VCS for that purpose.

FWIW our build system uses WiX (v2) currently and if I where to redo
it, I'd change to msilib and not WiX v3.  But never change working
systems.

Python.org supplied merge modules would be nice though, if the
upgrade/security issue can be resolved.
