It's pretty easy.

Install the package, you should see a new project type "tab" that includes 
setup projects, merge modules and libraries.  What you end up with is a shell 
Xml file that works just like it would without Votive.

You can add a project reference and then use something like this:

        <Component Id='c_xx' Guid='{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}'>
          <File Id='f.xx' Name='$(var.ProjectName.TargetFileName)' 
Source='$(var. ProjectName.TargetPath)' />
          <File Id='f.xx.pdb' Name= ProjectName.Resources.pdb' Source='$(var. 
ProjectName.TargetDir) ProjectName.pdb' />
        </Component>

(We always package our binaries and PDBs together to get better error reporting 
in the field)

Can you give a pointer to a Votive tutorial?
