This appears to be an esoteric compression format, so I'm not sure if it would be worth
it, but I have found a file or two compressed in this format.

Apparently KGB is based in PAQ6, which is GPL, and thus incompatible with the The Unarchiver
license (LGPL). Adding support would either require re-implementing from scratch (unlikely
to ever happen), or the author of PAQ changing the license to LGPL.

Hmm, at least there appears to be source code.

Not going to add this quite yet, probably, but if someone would find support useful,
please speak up in here.
