------------------------------------

See http://www.russotto.net/chm/chmformat.html for a description of the CHM format. Quick browsing didn't reveal any Java-based parser libraries that we could use to parse CHM files.

> It might be a good idea to support the CHM File format of Windows. Some information about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help#Extracting_to_HTML. The CHM format contains HTML files which can be parsed by Tika. So the "only" problem is to extract the data from the CHM file.
