Because, last I knew, this was a proprietary format whose
details are not published by Microsoft. Yes, it might be
possible to reverse engineer this, but after the Stacker
decision, you pause before relying on RE!

If this is wrong, and MS has indeed published the format, there
is no reason why it should not be supported, but of course it
needs someone to do the work!
