Only LZW/1 compression is supported in ShrinkIt files. That archive has its
files compressed with LZW/2. I started working on porting LZW/2 from Java to
PHP a few years back but never finished.
Thanks for bringing this up, because I'd forgotten that I never finished the
work. I will take a look at the code this weekend and see if I can get it
finished or not.

I did check, and the LZW/2 decompressor is partially working. There's some
aspect of clearing the dictionary or not clearing the dictionary that I
don't have implemented correctly yet. I'll spend some more time on this, as
I'm close to getting this code working.
