Ron there is a difference here. What I am planning is a decompressor
that is not linux specific. I just feed it an ELF file and it spits
back an ELF file that is a self decompressing itself into the original
ELF file. This should work with both BSD and Linux. And with just a
little work it will also work on multiple platforms.
This looks like something that can be built in just a couple days so
I'm not too worried.
