Hmmm. Seems you're right. I did search Jam inside of the sqpack directory of
the source code, and sure enough, it's got many mentions of it, including "not
supported" stuff. LOL

I added sqpack to my list of husky-tools builds for my husky-all.spec and it
compiled and installed fine. While I was there, I also added hptzip support for
hpt so I could use zipInternal. heh heh. I'll try sqpack, and see how it works.
Thanks. I wouldn't have guessed sqpack so much except that it mentioned it in
the hpt docs, sorta kinda, and I was like, that sounds like it's for Squish....
