I'm just guessing here, but I take it the directory structure and/or names
of your documentation files are unpredictable, and you want to get around
that by zipping up the files into a predictably named zip file?
You'll need a custom action for that. You'll have to include code that
cleans up your unzipped files on uninstall so you don't leave files on the
system.
A semi easier solution is to write something that calls "heat dir" each time
to generate a .wxs you include in your build. Should take about a day of
dev/testing.
In either case, you won't be able to reliable patch these files if you have
to.
