I was working on cleaning up some of our buildscripts to ensure that  
the wxs source compiles out with the latest Wix v3 toolkit (im making  
a big jump from v 3.0.2128 -> 3.0.4813) and noticed the following

Components that contain only one file - but it is not a KeyPath  
element , will cause a light error (LGHT230: The Component/@Guid  
attribut's value '*' is not valid for this component because it does  
not meet the criteria for having automatically generated guid.) Now  
this seems pretty valid since the file under the component isn't a  
KeyPath - *BUT* in my case, when a component does not have a keypath  
component, it is because it is using a CompanionFile to manage its  
upgrade. In this case would it not be fair to allow an autogenerated  
guid?
