What *is* a good way to pad the compressed huffman file out with extra bits?
I can see an approach that would require a *third* pass through the input file, but that's not desirable, obviously?
I have noticed that the file does get some arbitrary bits to fill the last byte; the problem is that the decompressor interprets these as a final character to decompress and thus adds an extra character on when decompressing.
