Make a command line version for Linux

• Coder: binary-file-input -> coder -> coded pdf output (which then can be printed)
• Decoder: input scanned image (png/tif/pdf) -> decoder -> binary file output

I am heavily interested in working with/on that software, especially in porting it to Linux/having it ported to Linux, and to use QR codes and the XZing software https://github.com/zxing/zxing for the code boxes (but letting the old decoder in to keep it compatible and allow decoding of old paperba(c)k backups).

Have you perhaps already ported it but forgot to push upstream?

The program should perhaps go together with Paperkey , see http://www.jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/ and https://gist.github.com/joostrijneveld/59ab61faa21910c8434c .

For later improvements, I suggest also a pure Javascript [sic] version (yes, there are QR javascript code/decode implementations, see http://www.webqr.com/ (live) and the code https://github.com/LazarSoft/jsqrcode ).
