[New-bugs-announce] [issue2399] Patches for Tools/msi

[Travis Oliphant]

New submission from Travis Oliphant <oliphant at enthought.com>:

The attached patches add the following features to MSI building:
 * allow splitting into multiple CABs
 * prevent problem when data-base commits grow beyond a certain number
 * fix to handle all file names
 * change the way unique keys are created in the File and Directory
tables by adding a globally-incrementing number to the file name (unless
it is a keyfile.  This prevents the repeated searching of a large set
(important when you are packaing 47k files...)
 * fix so that the file id that goes into the HashFileTable is never
larger than 72 characters.
