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())?
Created attachment 21831 [details] mscompress-0.3.ebuild
Created attachment 27074 [details] mscompress-0.3.ebuild 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.

In CVS, thanks!
