/**
* Calculates the amount of byte entropy across a window
* size, N. The maximum entropy across any window size
* is N unless N > 255 in which case the maximum number of
* of byte patterns which may exist is 255.
*
* This program is based on Charlie Daly's Entropy.java
* program which does more or less the same thing, but
* this program has lower memory requirements allowing
* much larger files to be analysed. It also offers a
* number of additional options which may, or may not, be
* useful.
*
* Have fun! ;-P, See http://bit.ly/entropy
