I don't think there is an elegant way to do this, as the Wix tools (or
any other tools for that matter) can't predict what ComponentRef's you
want under which features.
Most of our installers here have one feature, so here's the poor-man's
version of what I do (in Visual Studio):
Compile your project once without the ComponentRef's.
Copy all the output lines that complain about orphaned components (it
always groups these together.)
Paste those lines under my feature.
Use some clever search and replace commands to convert error messages to
valid ComonentRef tags.

Subject: [WiX-users] Creating features with lots of components
Hi all,
Is there a good way to generate the code for a feature with lots of
components? Generating the code for the components is ok with
tallow/mallow. But is there a slightly elegant way to generate all the
<componentref> tags? Short of awk or similar?
Surprisingly WiXEdit doesn't seem to do this.
