Four Swords Adventures: a byte-matching GameCube decompilation

fsa reconstructs The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures for GameCube as byte-matched source. Its build checks compiled game and library units against the original main.dol; the author reports partial game-code matching and a byte-identical linked DOL for the completed split units. Library code is partly imported from other decompilation projects.
