Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey *.Z

Despite the extension, they aren't zlib compressed, but LZH8 compressed. Header is always 40. Everything else is BG4 compressed which we already know how to decompress. Not asking for help as I figured it out recently.

It was very useful to me because I didn't have that lzh8 implemented in quickbms so I added it and puff8 and romchu of HCS in the current beta.

If interested I keep track of the new features and I announce the betas here:
