Well, good question :) AFAIK the compression format is indeed (a variant
of?) LHA, but the *deco tools have more sematic knowledge of the
contents, know about obscure deviations from the format in some BIOSes, some
motherboard-specific quirks etc. etc.

Judging from some ad-hoc tests on some images I did notice differences,
but don't ask me what exactly the differences are...
