    We pass properties into WiX from the wixproj files using

    <DefineConstants>configuration=$(Configuration)</DefineConstants> 

    In a PropertyGroups section. Then you can use them inside wix as $(var.configuration)

    <?if $(var.configuration) = Debug ?>   <?define x=1 ?> <?endif ?> 

    The WiX help file has a whole section on preprocessor stuff, give that a look for other things you can do.
