Extract/decompress CP/M LBR archives

lbrate extracts/decompresses files from the CP/M LBR format. It can also list and test such archives. It does this in an `unzip’-like manner, mostly hiding the details of individually compressed and renamed files, and transparently deals with the required decompression/renaming.

lbrate is also I believe the only non-CP/M program to fully support decompressing files from all three CP/M compression schemes Q, Z, Y. With this in mind, it can decompress such files directly, treating them as if they were single-entry LBRs.
