The process for creating clean cab files is not a simple one, which is why most customers leverage the Dell provided cab files instead of trying to build them on their own.
I can attest to Warren's statement on this. I've built my own in the past and to really get them trimmed down and vetted out is quite tedious. Save yourself the trouble and start with the driver packs that Dell has provided.
If you find any individual drivers that are out of date that you feel needs updated, then replace just that one driver.

The Cab files are updated on the following schedule for currently shipping systems and 2 cycles back - http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/3588.driver-cab-release-schedule.aspx The point at which the cabs are no longer updated usually coincides with the end-of-life for the system and driver updates after that point are rare.
