More detail on ElementFile

Use this node to list all the non-element manifest files in your Feature. This will make it so you only have to specify the Feature definition (feature.xml) within the manifest.xml for your solution as SharePoint will look to your Feature definition to see what files should be deployed alongside the Feature definition & element manifest files.
