Logical TOC in mobi binary

To make a long story short I'm making an ebook converter in C#. So far everything is great when creating a mobi except what I believe is called the "logical toc." In case I've got the terminology wrong, whats happening is that I do not have seekable tick marks on the progress bar at each chapter (or wherever else you want a tick mark).

The Wiki page doesn't have any info I could find about this. I understand that KindleGen uses an epub-style toc.ncx, but I am unable to find how this is serialized into the mobi file.

I've looked through Calibre's source code but it is a bit of a spaghetti nightmare.

Anyone know of any good resources for how mobi files are generated?
