Microsoft compress.exe/expand.exe compatible (de)compressor.

Very simple ebuild. FYI, this is not the same as cabextract. Indeed, cabextract doesn't handle data.ex_ files, and mscompress doesn't handle cabs. The two work together, basically.

I'm not aware of any "e" command to add a magic line, so I wrote a quick grep and cat >>. Feel free to replace this with something better. Maybe it belongs in a different section (like pkg_postinst())?

I changed the ebuild to use the http download location since the ftp location
has started blocking anonymous logins (or it's always full).

In addition, I've mirrored the source at
ftp://kane.evendata.net/pub/mirror/mscompress-0.3.tar.bz2 just in case.

I should comment, please do not put my mirror location in the ebuild. I
included it so you could mirror it on Gentoo's mirrors and get the correct
digest.
