Summary: Generate a specific DiskId (cabinet)

Initial Comment:
I would like to be able to tell the linker to build a particular DiskId, 
without generating anything else (No tables or other cabs).

This would empower clever builds which are smart enough to know which .wxs 
files and which media a particular .cab derives from, by enabling then to cab 
what has is necessary.

I'm sure you know that cabbing is the slowest part by far. It takes hours on 
large msi's, and there's often file changes at the last minute.

This would be a big deal to larger software houses and high code churn 
projects. I'm sure you know that build times are a hot issue.

P.S. Thanks for the multi-threading Cabbing and "Smart Cabbing".
