Custom Restoration Program for Bupstash v0.10.3

[m7a]

In an attempt to understand Bupstash's data format and cryptography better and to also provide an easy-to-compile alternative to the Rust cargo approach, I developed a “bare-bones” custom backup restore program that can read Bupstash's repository format as produced by Bupstash v0.10.3. I intend to later upgrade this to support a more recent version, too, since the updated Debian 12 ”Bookworm” is likely to be able to compile more recent versions of Bupstash (cf. #312).

In case anyone is interested, the custom restore program is described here: https://masysma.net/32/maxbupst.xhtml and the source code can be inspected and cloned from https://github.com/m7a/bo-maxbupst

Note: I highly recommend to prefer Bupstash's integrated restore function, my implementation can serve as a fallback for cases where the original Bupstash is not available (e.g. Windows?)

Thank you, this is really cool.
