I'm sick of problems with STSADM and MAKECAB

You tell them to do things and they partly do it. My gripe with MakeCab is that the files in the CBA archive (or wsp) don't use the same date stamp as what Windows Explorer uses. Building a DLL and as part of a post-build step you're putting the new DLL into the CAB file? Wouldn't it surprise...
