Actually, it looks like I didn't translate this code from v3 correctly.
This should be an IBurnBackendExtension, whose PostBackendBind doesn't even
provide the wixout. Or is there a different interface in the new Bundle
backend that this should be implementing?

I think it would be nice
if IWindowsInstallerBackendBinderExtension.PostBackendBind provided the
WindowsInstallerData as an additional parameter.
