I'm a firm believer in soldering electrical connections (like the spade connectors that go with a dynamo hub), but I've never gone as far as soldering cable ends.
If I did ... I think I would haul out my culinary torch, heat the end of the cable, and apply the solder. I don't keep a pot of the molten stuff.
