I add the wixlib project as a reference in the merge module project and add
this to the merge module:
<Module Id="MyCorpMergeModule" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0">
<Package Id="*" Manufacturer="MYCORP" InstallerVersion="200" />
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WixLibRedirectFolder" Name="MyCorp Product">
Stuff...
</Directory>
</Directory>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="cmpgrp_Log4Net"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="cmpgrp_DomainTypes"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="cmpgrp_MyCorpCommon"/>
