Calculating Approach speed --additions

Aside from 1.3Vs (computed to the landing configuration) what other additions do you make and why?
I've read about a number of different additions including half max gust strength (is that the whole gust strength or just the additional"gust" above the steady wind ?). Alternatively steady state wind plus "Gust Factor". Are the winds those reported or their resolved components ie those (hopefully) headwind components only?
This is particularly in relation to light aircraft.

Thanks TIM
