SharpCompress can now be used on machines with big endian architecture
such as powerpc. All byte conversions now run through Mono's
DataConverter (or a portable version for builds that don't allow unsafe
code) instead of BitConverter, as BitConverter's behavior depends on the
host cpu.
The java runtime on Android cannot process file entries with the fixed
version 63 - it can only process entries up to version 20, which should
be fine if the entry was compressed using deflate.
ShaprCompress is used internally in Mono to implement
System.IO.Compression, which allows the user to specify path encoding.
The change allows for specifying the encoding via
ArchiveEncoding.Default.
