Re: WOComponent .api files

.api files are used only by development environments to provide  
things like code completion, etc.  They are not used at all in  
deployment, so that's not your problem.  It's also not really  
possible to autogenerate .api files because the point of them is to  
define things that an IDE is not able to figure out on its own.  For  
instance, if you have a dynamic element, it's impossible for an IDE  
to know what the bindings are for it.
