cabextract is free software to extract Microsoft Cabinet files.
I am the author of cabextract, and I thought Cygwin could do with the
latest version, as it fixes several security bugs. The version
currently in Cygwin is about 4 years out of date.

Oops. I should have checked the package maintainer list before encouraging
you, Stuart.
It looks like the maintainer for cabextract is still active. I assume he
