bug#294: found a dif't, free version.

  I have found a completely different lharc codebase which we can try,
  and see if it runs on Linux.

  I found it in the FAQ for comp.compression.

Per this note:
.lha
.lzh:
	. . . snip . . .

      lharc for Unix. (LZ77 with hash table and binary trees, plus
	secondary Huffman coding)
          Warning: lharc can extract .lzh files created by
           lharc 1.xx but not those created by lha. See lha for Unix
	below.
        wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/misc/unix/lharc102a.tar-z
        garbo.uwasa.fi:/unix/arcers/lha101u.tar.Z
 
and the inside of the tarball contains among its japanese docs, a note 
in english with a fairly blunt declaration that it is free to
redistribute.  Another file claims when it was posted as open sources
to usenet - 1992.

So, this is less capable, and we'll have to compile it to see if it runs
on Linux, but it's definitely free.
