I've seen and even used stuffit-expander for linux beta many years ago, it was
downloadable from aladdin systems or so-called company who invited this mess.
But i'm afraid even if you extract this .hqx you'll get an macos binary
installshield or something like that so you have to run it on mac to get it
installed and then grab the dlls.

is there wmp for macos-x too? it would be easier to hack imho, it's
more unix-like
