ldesc: "The programme (two programmes really - but they're just links to each
other) converts 48x48x1 images to and from a compressed format.  The
uncompressed images are expected to contain 48x48/4 (576) hex digits.
All other characters and any '0's followed by 'X' or 'x' are ignored.
Usually the files are 48 lines of '0x%04X,0x%04X,0x%04X,'.  The
compressed images contain some number of printable characters.  Non
printable characters, including ' ' are ignored.  The purpose of the
programme is to allow the inclusion of face images within mail headers
using the field name 'X-face: '.
The programmes make use of a library which can be used to allow the
compression and decompression algorithms to be used in other
programmes such as mail despatchers and mail notification daemons."
