   Source code would be nice starter, and I'm not sure if anyone's
talked to Andy Nicolas about that. Though I do expect that most
programs that do 2-stage decomps use a temporary directory for the
intermediate file and go from there, unless you have the memory space
to unpack all of the .shk file from there. Wouldn't be too hard
overall, I think.
