Mostly for this but also for more general interest, I'd like a
pure-Python cab file creator and extractor.  If anyone knows of such a
thing, I'm all ears.  My admittedly brief scour of Google did not turn
anything up.  The BuildPackages system uses the Python msilib module,
but that does not come with all Python distributions, notably the
Cygwin version of Python 2.5.

Press Alt-Windows-B to refresh .wepm archives in the user profile folder.
A multiple selection ListBox shows their names and versions.  Select the
ones desired and press Enter.  The files in a .wepm archive are replaced
with Files having the same names that are found on disk.

The script uses a custom utility created with Python, CabIt.exe, as well
as a batch file, UnCabIt.bat, which calls the free 7z.exe utility,
available from
http://7zip.com

These tools are installed in the user script folder and may also be used
independently of this script to create or extract archives in Windows CAB
format (which include .wepm files).  The syntax is

CabIt CabArchive SourceDirectory
builds a new CabArchive from all files in SourceDirectory

UnCabIt CabArchive TargetDirectory
extracts all files from CabArchive to TargetDirectory

If the Jump to Item script is running, you can jump to a package based on
text it contains.  You can also select all or unselect all packages in the
list.

This global script requires GW Toolkit and Homer Shared Object.
