I looked at Mic's routines but they left me confused and it looked like 
a bit of a hack job.

For working with cab files, you might want to look into the Setup API:

>From SDK:
You can extract files from a cabinet in two ways. The first and simplest 
way is to take advantage of the automatic cabinet processing built into 
the setup functions.

<snipped details>

The second way to extract files from a cabinet is by using 
SetupIterateCabinet.  This function iterates through each file in a 
cabinet, sending a notification to a callback routine for each file 
found. The callback routine then returns a value that indicates whether 
the file should be extracted or skipped.

I haven't used them myself but I don't think they require cdecl calls 
(being Windows CALLBACKs and all...)
