* FIXME: I just noticed that I am memorizing the initial file pointer
* offset and restoring it before reading in the rest of the header
* information in the cabinet. Perhaps that's correct -- that is, perhaps
* this API is supposed to support "streaming" cabinets which are embedded
* in other files, or cabinets which begin at file offsets other than zero.
* Otherwise, I should instead go to the absolute beginning of the file.
* (Either way, the semantics of wine's FDICopy require me to leave the
* file pointer where it is afterwards -- If Windows does not do so, we
* ought to duplicate the native behavior in the FDIIsCabinet API, not here.
*
* So, the answer lies in Windows; will native cabinet.dll recognize a
* cabinet "file" embedded in another file? Note that cabextract.c does
* support this, which implies that Microsoft's might. I haven't tried it
* yet so I don't know. ATM, most of wine's FDI cabinet routines (except
* this one) would not work in this way. To fix it, we could just make the
* various references to absolute file positions in the code relative to an
* initial "beginning" offset. Because the FDICopy API doesn't take a
* file-handle like this one, we would therein need to search through the
* file for the beginning of the cabinet (as we also do in cabextract.c).
* Note that this limits us to a maximum of one cabinet per. file: the first.
*
* So, in summary: either the code below is wrong, or the rest of fdi.c is
* wrong... I cannot imagine that both are correct ;) One of these flaws
* should be fixed after determining the behavior on Windows. We ought
* to check both FDIIsCabinet and FDICopy for the right behavior.
