Is there a reason these paths are seemingly relative to
qga/installer/qemu-ga.wxs? I'd imagine that works for running wixl
command within that directly, but top-level Makefile 'msi' ends up
bombing if I do 'make msi':

[mdroth@vm4 qemu-build-w64]$ ../w/qemu4.git/configure --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
  --with-vss-sdk=/home/mdroth/w/vss-win32/ --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
  --extra-cflags=-Wall --enable-guest-agent --enable-guest-agent-msi
...

[mdroth@vm4 qemu-build-w64]$ make -j4 qemu

  LINK  qemu-ga.exe

[mdroth@vm4 qemu-build-w64]$ make msi

  WIXL  qemu-ga-x86_64.msi
Couldn't find file ../../qemu-ga.exe
make: *** [qemu-ga-x86_64.msi] Error 1

The fix seems simple enough, but I want to make sure I'm not doing something
stupid and have some idea of how people are using the current MSI installer
code.
