Writing in a human language is as much fun as writing in a
computer language, even when it's Ruby... Maybe more fun. You
don't get feedback from a computer...

Can't be too difficult. Just reading a file and checking a key
before doing anything. To be done by EEE, so it's hard to
"decompile" with --eee-justextract. Do you have some algorithms
for generating and checking keys?

I could block the use of --eee-list and --eee-justextract, but
it's still easy to peek into the application by getting the
files from $TEMP once the application is up and running. Real
obfuscation is not easy.
