libzip supports PPMd
Got some WinZIP compressed archive using their propritary PPMd compression today. The evaluation period of my Wine powered copy of WinZIP has expired and I was not willing to renew it. Documentation for their PPMd is available, so I added PPMd support to libzip. Actually I already looked at it some months ago, but was too embaressed by Dmitry Shkarin's coding style: He obviously tries to put as many expressions as possible on each sheet of paper and mixes it with a wild casing style for identifiers. Someone should tell him that that source code primary is for humans, not for machines.
Source code is available via git: http://taschenorakel.de/git/libzip/
