  - note: uint32_t * uint32_t = uint32_t and will not upscale to uint64_t
* ewf_string: better solution for size*16 in ewf_string_uncompress
  - the length starts out with a factor 2 and keeps increasing by a factor 2 until string can be decompressed
* moved process status and summary functions to ewfcommon
* added process summary to ewfexport
* read: will uncompress chunk directly to chunk sized buffers for non compressed chunks
* are both the segment table and section list file descriptor value needed - can this be a single value?
  - the file descriptor in the section list was used as safe guard only - removed
* Only use the chunk cache when the input buffer size does not suffice for reading or writing an entire chunk
  - the chunk cache actually reduces performance for sequential reads due to additional memcpy - completed
* ewfverify: show status indicator
* ewfverify: when done show time and Mb/s

20061129

    for basic offset tracking
* found issues in documentation
  - EnCase1 (EWF-E01) format stores its chunks in the table sections not in the sectors section
    it uses an EWF-S01 alike layout
  - SMART in FTK Imager has a CRC at the end of the offset table
* fixed read and write regarding issues in documentation
* read: fixed error in recognizing FTK imager format

20061127
* worked on performance enhancements

* change char* to EWF_CHAR* or LIBEWF_CHAR*
  - allow for char and w_char interfacing with library
  - use LIBEWF_CHAR for char/w_char wrapping and EWF_CHAR for byte strings in EWF file format, CHAR_T required for wchar_t support in basic functions
  - make internal EWF related strings byte strings (EWF_CHAR) - make string functions safe to be char or uint8_t
  - use string.x for string functions
* string: added length to libewf_string_search
