[issue8552] msilib can't create large CAB files

[Bill Janssen]

Yes, I've tried that.  No joy.  Right now I'm trying an approach which
packages each top-level directory as a separate cab.

What I'm finding is that if I get up around 4200 files, it breaks,
regardless of the file sizes.  Out of curiosity, how many files are in the
Python MSI file?
