Once a project reference is added, a list of project variables 
becomes avaliable to be referenced in the WiX source code. Project 
reference variables are useful when you do not want to have hard-coded 
values. For example, the $(var.MyProject.ProjectName) variable will 
query the correct project name at build time even if I change the name 
of the referenced project after the reference is added.
The following demonstrates how to use project reference variables in WiX source code:
