I am trying to create a composite mod... The problem I am coming across is the creation of the creation of the .modinfo file that is created in the build process.

Entering in all the different updates and ads and such into the mod buddy project would be a rather insane proposition and one very prone for errors. The easiest way is to merge the XML the problem I have is what the heck to do at that point, since if I try to do a build it will destroy the modinfo that I hand edited. Also I am not sure if I would be able to use the mod browser to deploy.

Any assistance in this subject would be appreciated.

No, the way you're doing it now is what's prone to errors. Those checksums are in there for a reason, and you're trying to skip them to save a little time. It does NOT take long to select "Add Existing Item" in ModBuddy and then write a one-line entry into the Content or Actions tabs.
Merging things the way you're describing has a large number of potential issues, not the least of which is you're bypassing the part that checks to make sure you're not editing the same thing twice.

Do it the right way. You'll have far fewer problems in the long term.
 
I will attempt to do it the "correct" way and see if I can pull it off, there is actually some stuff in the modinfo file I am not 100% sure how to set....

I see myself going over the modders guides yet once again... LOL
