I have a project that has a large number of files.  Between versions of our
software, new files get added and some get removed.  Therefore, in
automating our build process, I would like to have heat auto-generate a .wxs
file (let's call it files.wxs).

But then there are certain hand-generated items, like the <product> element
with its associated version and <environment> tags for environment variables
that we need to set.  These never change (except for the version number
which increments).  Right now, I have put all of that in a file named 
product.wxs.

How can I best combine them into one .msi?  Do I need to create a
<component> element inside the <product> element for each of the fragments
that were auto-generated in the "files.wxs" file?  If so, that kind of
defeats the purpose of auto-generating that file.  I'm hoping there is
another way.

Help!    Thanks, in advance.
