    - This version was made for the Slashdot people that complained  
      about portability: (a) it doesn't use x86 ASM, (b) it uses 'ls' 
      and 'awk' instead of 'stat -c' in 'freeze.sh', (c) it uses
      a custom C 'chopper' instead of 'head -c' in 'melt.sh'.
      It must therefore be runnable almost everywhere...
      (Note though that the x86 ASM version is an order of magnitude
       faster)

    CHANGES from original rsbep: 

    - gravy (autoconf/automake), ...
    - This version doesn't write the 3 parameters of rsbep as a 
      single line before the data, as this makes the stream fragile
      (if this information is lost, decoding fails...)
    - It uses a default value of 16*255=4080 for parameter D, 
      and it can thus tolerate 4080*16=65280 consecutive bytes 
      to be lost anywhere in the stream, and still recover...
    - It comes with two very simple scripts (freeze.sh, melt.sh)
      that keep track of the input size, and thus offer a complete
      interface for standalone file "shielding".
