ccc

ccc is a rewrite of fff in C aiming for usefulness, size and speed with no dependency.

The fact that it is written in C makes it more versatile and rapid, enabling us to add features that were previously ruled out due to time complexity. You may call it a soft fork.

Configuration can be done via config.h and patches are available(current only for image preview).
