When I use heat, it generates dir/comp/file ID's such as

cmpXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
dirXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
filXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If I omit the File/@Id attribute I get a different transformation pattern 
autogenerated.   Is there a way to make it make the autogenerated flavor be 
like the way heat does it?

Also when I try to use autogenerated componentID/Guids in merge module projects 
I get an error message saying the file isn't rooted in ProgramFilesFolder.  
Eventually it will be though since we wire all of our modules up to 
targetdir\installdir.   I found a hackish way around this error ( declare a 
Directory of ProgramFilesFolder with a DefaultDir of . and put it in the 
heiraachy )  but I was wondering if there is a better way here.

Basically I'm trying to come up with a way of writing merge modules that have 
as much autogenerated id's and guids as possible to minimize the mistake of 
component rule violations and such.


Thanks,
Chris
