The catman C implimentation is VERY hard to read and I find totally
unmaintainable.  I have emailed John about some functionality I was
trying to add -- bzip2 support.  Unfortunately the use of Gzip is totally
hardcoded and Johnh is not responding to emails.  There for I am now
asking if someone would rewrite catman gain in a much cleaner way.
