This was irritating dealing with the block/delta image format, especially having to do so three different ways. Still, it's something I haven't seen before and was a bit interesting. The floating-point version I suspect is reassembled on the GPU, maybe in a pixel shader?

Usage of the merge tools is unusually complicated. The first parameter is the bitmap and the next is the delta data file (no extension). Passing auto where supported will guess paired filenames; it's usually right.

- merge_5bpfrag works with STEINS;GATE.

- merge_11ecfrag works with deltas in 11eyes CrossOver's chara.dat. Extracting everything will consume a *lot* of space.

- merge_11ecfrag2 works with deltas in 11eyes CrossOver's bg.dat. Note there are two bitmaps each for this one.
