Version 1.5.2: Fixed CRLF endings in sources. Moved configure.in to
configure.ac and rewrote obsolete constructions. Redid installation
in `make install' so it actually worked, including on Cygwin
(needs the EXEEXT variable from `configure').
The programme (two programmes really - but they're just links to each
other) converts 48x48x1 images to and from a compressed format. The
uncompressed images are expected to contain 48x48/4 (576) hex digits.
All other characters and any `0's followed by `X' or `x' are ignored.
Usually the files are 48 lines of "0x%04X,0x%04X,0x%04X,". The
compressed images contain some number of printable characters. Non
printable characters, including ` ' are ignored. The purpose of the
programme is to allow the inclusion of face images within mail headers
using the field name `X-face: '.
