I had, apparently foolishly, assumed that the -bf option placed the
binary files into the WiXlib.  My assumption was supported by the fact
that with the option the lib was about the size of the compressed
content and without the -bf, it was very small.

I further assumed that I could then take that lib file to another system
and use it as input into a WiX build.

However, I have discovered that all the files that are bound into the
lib need to be present at the same path on the other system.

So, what is the real purpose of the -bf option and is there no way to
build reusable libraries that are not dependent on the input binaries?
