I'm not sure what you mean by "unbound" wixlibs, but I do have a setup like
this...

a.csproj
b.csproj
wl.wixproj  <-- references a and b to make a wixlib
wx.wixproj <-- references wl.wixproj to make the msi

But again, I still had an issue when the PreBuild and/or BeforeBuild
actions ran on wl.wixproj.  They would run either before a.csproj or before
b.csproj, but never before (except when built via VS) wl.wixproj like I
wanted.

Thanks for the test project file.  When I get some downtime I'll give it a
try.  Maybe it will help me understand the MSBuild build order that has
plagued me.  I really hope Microsoft drops the current solution file format
and replaces it with a true MSBuild project file.  I think that would make
some of these issues easier to resolve.
