I thought briefly about this, but decided to implement a fixed size so 
that someone could allocate, say, 8K of memory in their memory map 
(likely flash) and know their blob would fit.

Maybe we need a little -s option to say "add -s bytes".

Jon suggested a --stats option to print out the important statistics. 
That would also be a good enhancement.
