There is a discussion about supporting 'patching'  here
<http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-patches-using-wixout-bf-flag-deprecated-td7598765.html>
  
and I have a followup question, but slightly different focus.

I use File elements like this

<File KeyPath="yes" Source="foo.exe">   //which is in my application source
tree
or
<File KeyPath="yes" Source="foo.png">  //which is in my 'static' source
files tree

And then in the wixproj (or VS properties) I specify a 
    <LinkerAdditionalOptions>
      $(LinkerAdditionalOptions)
      -nologo
      -b <path to my build output source tree>\MyAppDir
      -b <path to my static source tree>\MyAppDir
    </LinkerAdditionalOptions>

So is this enough to support patching (use BindPath) or should I be doing
something else?

Does the BindPath need to be a named bind path?

Do I need to specify File/@BindPath?
