/*
 * Converter description
 * ---------------------
 *
 * Encoding:
 *	Each sequence of 4 bytes is reinterpreted as 32bit integer number
 *	in bigendian notation and split into into 5 printable characters
 *	via repeated division modulo 85 and addition of character '!'. The
 *	number 0 is a special case and converted to the single character
 *	'z'. If the last sequence in the input is shorter than 4 bytes,
 *	special processing is invoked: The sequence is padded with 0-bytes,
 *	then converted as usual, but without application of special case 0.
 *	Only the first 'len' bytes written (len being the original number
 *	of bytes in the processed sequence).
 *
 * Decoding:
 *	Each sequence of 5 printable characters is converted into a 32bit
 *	integer and the split into 4 bytes (output order is bigendian). A
 *	single character 'z' is converted into 4 0-bytes. If the last
 *	sequence is shorter than 5 bytes, special processing is invoked to
 *	recover the encoded bytes.

       * addition we do know, that only the upper part is
       * relevant, so we don't shift up again and avoid
       * overhead during division.
       *

       *
       *	'rld'
       * == 0x72 0x6c 0x64
       * == 0x726c6400

       *    36 65 68 22
       * == 22584777
       * == 1919706045	(after -x-)
       * == 0x726c63bd
       *            ~~ mask these, then increment next digit by one
       * -> 0x726c6400 !
       *
       *              same effect via shift and increment (/o/)
