Natural Stone Veneer

Does anyone have any advice for constructing stone veneered walls. I've seen on tv, glimpes of how to do these but I'm looking for more detailed information on how to construct them. The way I've seen them built is that a footing is poured, a concrete block wall is then built, then faced with stone. Is that set up sturdy in the long run? Do the holes in the block wall need to be filled with rebar and concrete? I live in a part of the country that has freeze/thaw cycles. Should wire mesh be achored to the block wall then the stone mortared over that? I'd like to learn how to to these wall systems so any info would be appeciated.
