I've noticed a couple things I wonder about:

Let say I use:

Source="$(env.WINDIR)\notepad.exe 

The  wixlib gets formatted as C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE.

If I type the file name wrong, it still compiles with no errors.  It's not 
until I consume the library in a merge module that it reports a failure.

Our current build process has dozens of service family builds.  I plan on 
implemnting fragments and libraries in these builds and then consuming the 
libraries in downstream builds.  I'm concerned that:

1) Incorrect file paths will manifest themselves too late in the process.

2) When using a different variable like  $(env.INSTALLFILES)  if the directory 
path is different for different builds the wixlib is already formatted and the 
files won't line up.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
