Summary: dark fails to decompile MSMs correctly

Initial Comment:
When trying to decompile an MSM, dark fails to deliver 
correct results.

When used without the -m switch, all names remain 
modularized and the file contains a <Product> element 
instead of <Module>. Otherwise, the produced .wxs file 
seems quite correct and it can be manually fixed up to 
be useful.

When used with the -m switch, dark fails with the 
following message:

..\sumex\sumex-module-bsn.msm
dark.exe : fatal error DARK0000: Item has already been 
added.  Key in 
dictionary: "MDInvoiceRequestManager.76DC860E_2940_4
5D9_83C3_B6C946BC604B"  Key being 
added: "MDInvoiceRequestManager.76DC860E_2940_45D9
_83C3_B6C946BC604B"

This is the case for modules from other vendors 
(Microsoft, Wise etc.), but also for modules created with 
WiX.
