What I mean is, the Squish format has a chain of message frames and a chain
of free frames.

AFAICT, sqpack does not move deleted messages from the message chain to the
free chain, it repacks the area with just the non-deleted messages.

So I wanted to know if there's a way to actually make use of the free
frames chain feature.  I can write a replacement for sqpack, but if HPT
won't use free frames either way, there's no point.
