The 7zdec package in FreeDOS is built from the same source package as
7za, 7zr, and 7zm.  I don't intend to maintain these products
separately.

This 7zdec source package is renamed to Retro7zip to distinguish it
from other forks, particularly p7zip, which has a different pedigree.

Key differences vice the p7zip package in distro are:

* Retro7zip is sixteen years newer.
* Retro7zip is perfectly DOS native.
* Retro7zip has all upstream features except benchmarking and sfx,
which might come later.
