Don't assume .exe files are Cabinet archives just by extension.
.exe files are as likely as not to be archives, so I'd rather not bug the
user for recursive extraction every time they're in an archive. So we'll
detect these sorts of archives by their magic only, which prevents them
from triggering recursive extraction attempts.
