Rather than using Burn "Persisted" variables we now add registry keys for each added feature. These can be detected by the installer regardless of which version installed them, and we use this for Modify and Upgrade. In particular, Upgrades can't access the Persisted variables, but can find well-known registry keys.
There are also some changes to the bootstrap app to properly handle upgrades.
Finally, a few minor improvements to the Windows build to keep things tidier.
Double quotes in expanded variables can match literal double quotes,
which makes for a big mess when passing in a quoted argument (like
"/p:externalsDir=..\externals", for example).
The user-facing scripts in PCbuild have been updated to be easier to use
and the buildbot scripts in Tools\buildbot have been updated to use the
user-facing scripts in PCbuild wherever possible.

I figured out that the files may suite other developers. The files take care of most problems and makes building Python on Windows easier. Simply double click on build_env.bat to open a shell and type build.
