Here's what I consider to be best practice:
1. Create a manifest file which specifies the MXML tags for your
components, and which ActionScript classes they map to.
2. Use compc's 'namespace' option to associate a particular namespace,
such as http://ns.yourcompany.com/yourproduct/2008, with that manifest
file.
3. Use compc's 'include-namespaces' option and specify that namespace.
This will link in all the components in the associated manifest, plus
all their dependent classes.
4. If there are other classes which can't be found by a dependency
analysis that starts with the classes in the manifest file, create a
single .as class which depends on them, and use compc's
'include-classes' option to link in that one class (and therefore the
ones it depends on).
To see an example of this, take a look at the build scripts for the
standard Flex SWCs in the Subversion repo, such as
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/pro
jects/framework/build.xml. They use the <compc> Ant task, but the same
ideas apply to using the compc command-line tool.

You can set a directory form compc.

We're integrating a Flex build with MSBuild, so no Ant (though I
suppose we could invoke Ant).
Why the heck can I point mxmlc at an application file and have it
compile the entire nested source tree, but compc expects an explicit
list of files? Or is my information out of date?
Thanks
