WiX has been proposed (including a patch)
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11575
I think the bug has been "backloged" because of lack of manpower to work on it
and the lack of test in the proposed patch.

May be you can try to resume this work?
I may help for understanding CPack internals, but I may not be of great
help for testing since I'm not using Windows very often.
