The implementation for the MR is mostly complete. The unit test
requirements were unreasonable though, which is why the MR was not
accepted. The unit tests are there in the MR, I used compressed data
extracted from the Adobe Reader installer for test data. However, the
maintainers are requiring self generated data, which would require an
implementation of mspatchc, along with tests for that module as well,
which is why I say the requirements are unreasonable.

I am going to sound critical here, but I do believe the maintainers are
unreasonably concerned in this case. Without sounding too accusatory,
when I looked into the test data that already existed, it seemed very
likely to also have been extracted from something, so I don't see why
it's now suddenly an issue. I mean, I get it, I'm just a contributor,
and there are risks, but I don't think Wine will succeed in the future
with unreasonable concerns like where simple useless extracted snippets
of compressed bytes come from that are used for unit tests.

Looking at Proton for example, some of the things they are doing is,
funny enough, much worse than what is in this PR. Does Valve just has a
better legal team?
