Hi Gerd

It looks like the order of the letter patterns approaches canonical
Huffman (but not quite as far as I can see). With this, only the number
of codes of each length is required to form the tree.

The "struct for {level}" looks like 2 numbers. Both increasing as
levels go from 20 to 6. The first, a single byte from #00 to #3d - this
could be give the accumulated lengths at each level (but I didn't get
it to match). The second, variable length, from #000006 to #180c00 and
I've no idea what it could mean.

Levels 1 - 5 seem to be handled differently. with the repeat * 4,
repeat * 2, no repeat and the padding.
