Is it possible to have Light.exe yield its MSBuild node while executing?
This will be helpful in big builds, when other processes are running in parallel.

Hello,

The fix is really easy, it requires passing single additional argument to Light task in wix2010.targets file. The performance boost can be significant in complex build environments.

It's an option when WiX tools run out-of-proc (default is in-proc).
