Where's all the data?

A library with utility binaries for reading (and in the future maybe also writing?) WAD files compatible with the Doom game engine.

In scope: Support for existing WAD implementations in any of the authentic games using variants of this engine.

Out of scope: Support for any of the data formats hosted inside a WAD file.
