  Description     : simple index/database for huge amounts of small files

FFindex is a very simple index/database for huge amounts of small files. The
files are stored concatenated in one big data file, separated by '\0'. A
second file contains a plain text index, giving name, offset and length of
the small files. The lookup is currently done with a binary search on an
array made from the index file.
