Codemasters NeFS archives

Tested with F1 2013 but the format should be the same also on Dirt and Grid except that these archives are probably encrypted on these games.

The format is composed by multiple tables with usage of indices, chunks and strange solutions like the compressed size of the chunks that is incremental (?) and no chunks numbers are specified.

Please note that these archives seem to contain multiple versions of the same file, so use 'r' when requested.
I have checked different times and it doesn't seem a mistake on my side.

Hello. Thanks for unpacking, very handy. Is it possible to re-pack the extracted files in nfs? So could voiceovers for games Codemasters doing..

Reimporting is possible only for the file smaller/equal than 128 kilobytes.
The bigger files are divided in chunks and so they are not supported.
