I'm not sure where else it's talked about, but the above blog entry is by
the author of heat I believe. -gg is the "generate guid" option, so you
don't have to generate them yourself. Heat will setup a directory
structure, and for each file (component) it will use the name if the
directory you use. Therefore, if the directory you are using heat on is
called mycooldir, the Id of the directory for all of your components will
have an Id="mycooldir". There will be a <Directory /> hierarchy that will
be setup toward the bottom of your wxs file that you can modify to have the
right TARGETDIR that you want. There is a good explanation of how the
directories are setup in the tutorial linked off of
http://wix.sourceforge.net/ if you want to take a look at that. I think the
basic templates for it are "product" and "module". I haven't used any of
the others. Also, don't forget to add a CC to the wix-users group so
everyone can share in the conversation.

Thanks. The heat command seems to be a good solution. Do you know
where I can find some more documentation for heat? E.g. where is "-gg"
and the available templates documented (besides in the above blog)?
Also: The newly generated wxs should only be considered as a component
and "myDir" should be placed in e.g. "INSTALLDIR\foo\bar\". But how
can I set the destination path for the the component in myDir.wxs?
