Continuous Deployment of IIS Settings Using MSDeploy

Question

We practice continuous deployment with TFS (2008) and are looking for a good way to handle changes to IIS settings. MSDeploy seems like it should be a way to handle this, but after a lot of reading and searching, I did not find a good answer.

The problem with MSDeploy, as I see it, is that you need to create a deployment package using the existing IIS website. I would like to have the appropriate IIS configuration for the website in the source control and create the package assembly.

The only way I can do this is to process the archive.xml file. Is my thinking right or is there a better way?
