This is correct, but you should have "package=..." and "groups=..." in
only ONE file over ALL files being linked into the same library.  The
"package" corresponds to a library.  The "group" corresponds to a single
invocation of cable on one config file.

You want this:

wrap_config_file_0.cxx:
... package = "thePackage";
... groups[] = {"wrappergroup1", "wrappergroup2", ...};

wrap_config_file_1.cxx:
... group = "wrappergroup1";

wrap_config_file_2.cxx:
... group = "wrappergroup2";

The directory-structure relationship does not matter once these are linked
into a single library.
