InstallShield unpacker

I couldn't find anything that would unpack the (entirely unnecessary) Nokia map loader set-up application, which is some InstallShield 7 nastiness.

deshield can. Given the number of magic numbers in it, I fully expect it not to work with other installers.

Why do they bother? The data isn't even compressed; it's just bit-twiddled a little with the file-name, and this magic number: [ 0x13, 0x35, 0x86, 0x07 ].
