Native Packaging WIX

[Daniel Zwolenski]

Ive got a jira raised for this:

http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-26826

It should be easy. Now that the packaging code is open sourced I should be able to make this change myself. Just got to get the build working. 

I'm also working on getting the wix executables into the central maven repo and the intent is to make my maven plugin auto download and setup wix (it doesn't need to be "installed", just unzipped). Using Ant+ivy it should be possible to achieve the same.
