I have three copies of a 144MB file. If I use Media, the resulting msi is around 200MB. If I use default MediaTemplate, the resulting msi is around 600MB and the 144MB is put into 3 separate cabs. Basically, smart cabbing is broken. It doesn't matter if I use ExternalCab true or false or a CabinetTemplate.

According to http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/mediatemplate.html under MaximumCabinetSizeForLargeFileSplitting, MediaTemplate supports smart cabbing by default. In my mind, this makes this issue a bug instead of a feature as the documentation claims it's already supported, and what is "smart cabbing" if not taking duplicate files into account.

Doesn't change anything; the code still needs to be written.
