At this time, Variables aren't all that great because they don't don't recursively resolve themselves.
For instance, the global variable InstallDir={Folders.ProgramFiles}/MyApp followed by Task variable TargetDirectory={InstallDir} can't presently work. Although we would appropriately resolve the variable InstallDir, we would not resolve the referenced
variable {Folders.ProgramFiles}.
Proposals
Allow variables to recursively expand themselves while new variables are found.
