Haha, nevermind, I figured it out! It's much simpler than I thought it
would be. Here's the .xsl code for other newbies like me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
  xmlns:wix="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
>

  <!-- Recursive copy of everything to allow for editing of any node. Using
        <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
        </xsl:template>
       will do a straight copy and not allow editing.
  -->
  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
      <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
      </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <!-- Ignore debug files. -->
  <xsl:template match= "//wix:Component[substring(wix:File/@Source,
string-length(wix:File/@Source) - string-length('.pdb') + 1)='.pdb']" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

This is the heat command for post-build in the project Properties in Visual
Studio:

"$(WIX)bin\heat.exe" dir "$(TargetDir)." -template fragment -configuration
Release -platform AnyCPU -gg -cg MainApp_Components -directoryid
INSTALLFOLDER -generate layout  -scom -srd -sreg -suid -svb6 -t
$(ProjectDir)PrepHeatFrag.xslt -var var.MainApplication.TargetDir -out
"$(SolutionDir)MainApp_x64msi\MainApp_HeatFragment_x64.wxs"
