But with NSIS, I can have my own template file and modify every aspect of it. 
Is this also possible with WiX?

$CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME is also used for other parts, already, so there is no way 
to define this independently? Maybe add another $CPACK_WIX_* variable that is 
initialized with $CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME?
