[wix-users] Directory.Build.props and Directory.Build.targets

[Edwin Castro]

I don't use Visual Studio 2015 yet so I hadn't seen this behavior
previously. The Microsoft.Common.props and Microsoft.Common.targets files
are .Net Framework artifacts. I wonder which .Net Framework version
introduced this feature?

Also, the doc suggests that outer props override inner props since inner
props get imported first and outer props only get imported if the inner
props continues the search. I assume people that already use this feature
understand this and know how to deal with it.
