I haven't planned any. Contributions are welcome.

Are you sure visual studio uses wix? I wouldn't call it a "platform
standard tool". The Installer COM object is the platform standard
mechanism, and that's what msilib uses. I really see no need to move
away from that - it can create arbitrary MSI files.
