The problem is that the .CAB (cabextract extract this CAB archives) are the 
propetary of MS 
(since...90...or a litle beffore)
frecuently the .CAB is used in "Service Pack (propertary of MS for the 
propertary SO), "Longhorn videos" 
(aka, videos from "Vista"), Video codecs (For the propetary system, and MS Core 
Fonts (ttf-{vista,ms}-
fonts (Extracted from the webpage)
and why need a tol for extract "software from a .CAB archgive" if the real FOSS 
give the binary code 
instead a prepackaged .CAB cabinet...
