1 and 2 are good. 1 is good because the NuFX library will change seldomly, I
would presume.

2 is good too because you will learn more about the NuFile format. I
actually took this route when writing Format Converter for Mac GUI Vault. I
just wrote a new implementation based on the specification document. The
downside to option 2 is that it'll take more time and you'll have to make
all the special case code for wacko-case ShrinkIt archives.

If your time is limited, I suggest option 1.
