msidb allows developers to add "streams" (cabinet files) to a database
with the "-a" mode flag followed by a filename, example:
msidb -d package.msi -a cabinet.cab

msidb uses a nice CLI syntax for adding multiple database tables in
one call with the "-i" mode flag, this patch implements that syntax.
For example, this call would import three tables from the current
directory (ActionTe.idt, Componen.idt, and InstallE.idt):
msidb -d package.msi -f . -i ActionText Component InstallExecuteSequence

The "Windows SDK Components for Windows Installer Developers" has a
command line tool called msidb that is incredibly useful for creating,
editing, and exporting MSI installer databases, think of it as
winemsibuilder on steroids. This patch series implements much of the
functionality of the msidb tool, maintains compatible CLI flags, and
the underlying MSI functionality necessary to support these features.
Jacek expressed an interest in having these patches resurrected for
use by the Gecko build scripts and Austin's VS builds of Valgrind.
With this patch series all the existing winemsibuilder functionality
is available, plus the ability to drop streams, export the
_SummaryInformation table, and export binary streams (Binary/Icon
tables). A big feature of the implementation is that it allows you to
edit existing installer databases, rather than just creating new ones.
