Changing the default maximum size of SharePoint WSP files

If you are not using the SharePoint WSP builder tool and you are building your WSP's using makecab.exe then this is something usefull to know. By default the size of the wsp will be limited to 360 KB (which is the max. size of 5.25'' floppies from the good old days). You can however change this by adding the following to your .ddf file:

.Set MaxCabinetSize=0

.Set FolderSizeThreshold=0
.Set CabinetFileCountThreshold=0
.Set FolderFileCountThreshold=0
