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

Guys, we'd prefer to not use LGPL (and there are serious limitations and impacts for using it at Apache), so LGPL is a no-go.

> 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.
