Melon: Converter that produces PDF from CNKI proprietary formats

Development
-----------

Currently, PDF, CAJ, and KDH can be converted. Please report 
any failures with a sample that can reproduce the behaviour.

HN support is being worked on.

KDH is essentially an invalid PDF file xor'ed with a predetermined key.
You may want to convert the decrypted KDH to valid PDF, although some
PDF readers can display the invalid PDF.

Usage
=====

`make`

Optionally, `make install`

`melon -o OUTPUT INPUT`

Options
-------

-o, --output  
Specify output file  

-b, --buffer  
Set buffer size (default 512k)  

-v, --verbose  
Print more information (twice for even more)
