[wix-devs] WiX Command Prompt

I mostly only use dark.exe from the command line as I use msbuild projects
for building and use wrapper scripts to start off those builds.

For dark.exe I revert to %WIX%bin\dark.exe in the command prompt or &
${env:WIX}bin\dark.exe in powershell.

That said, I'd support a WiX Tools Prompt shortcut similar to the way
Visual Studio does!
