I think the new code is looking pretty reasonable now, im running out of
ways to save space, and i think ive got all the functionality back in
there. 

If anyone has time i could do with a hand to find some bugs and any other
feedback i can get.

Issues im aware of at the moment
 - endian stuff which i dont really understand, Manuel, i dont understand
your unzip patch, if strongarm and i386 are both small endian then
shouldnt it work on both ? I see it would have problems on big endian
machines though.
 - it could do with some testing on a tape drive.
 - seeking over pipes (reading a char at a time) seems to be going slower,
i did intend to put some general input buffering in, but that can wait.

(im sure theres a few things ive forgoten)
