How about using XSLT to change the <Directory Id="foo" ...> into <DirectoryRef Id="foo"> in the localized wixlib's wxs file from heat?

Heat is used on two different directories at build time. One of these directories holds all of my language specific files "/localized/" and the other holds all of my language neutral files "/neutral/". Creating a setup this way allows me to generate the language neutral .wixlib just once for every locale I support. The problem is that the directory structure within those directories has some (but not complete) overlap. e.g. localized foo greeneggs bar neutral foo ham becomes on the user's computer installdir foo greeneggs ham bar This gives me a duplicate symbol error at foo when I try to link the two wixlibs together. I can't just throw away the directory fragments from one heat run because neither structure is a subset of the other. I also don't want to tell light to suppress the duplicate symbols error (and I don't know that that will produce a working MSI). Really the only solution I've come up with is to use XSLT to eliminate all of the directory elements from the first two runs and then run heat again against the combined result and use XSLT on that third run to eliminate all of the non-directory elements. That seems suboptimal at best. Anyone have any better ideas?
