[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Dead Horse: CAB file extraction

Hate to bring up this subject again, but I would like to echo my support 
for a CAB file extraction utility to be used under Missing Sync for 
PocketPC.

I started from scratch on my Dell Axim and found that 99.99% of the 
software I wanted to put on the device were PC executables. I know that 
a few vendors offer CAB files in .zip format, but in my case I found 
none that were in this format.

So, there I was again in Virtual PC doing all this stuff. I am 
proficient with multiple flavors of Windows but I really don't like to 
use it if I can avoid it somehow.

In past discussions, MarkSpace has said that CAB file extraction would 
not be 100% reliable. That's ok! If I can get a 50-80% rate I would be 
happy.

Another low-priority utility would be a theme creator...I know the image 
sizes of the .TSK format but I would like to make them on my Mac and 
transfer them over via Missing Sync.
