This looks promising, thanks!

Do you think we could use configure_file to create the .xml file like we 
do with the NSIS generator?  It would be best if this installer could 
use the standards set of CPACK_* variables to create an installer.  I 
maybe reading your code wrong, but I think the only thing that it is 
used is the list of sources.

For example, what to you get if you try to package Tutorial/Step7 with 
the WiX CPack generator?
