FAX coding scheme wanted

The FAX formats are documented in CCITT Recommendation T.4 and T.6 (Group 3
and Group 4, respectively) of Fascicle VII.3. Basically, FAX formats use run-
length encoding with variable-length bit fields. Horrible to understand, and
even worse to parse... Currently, I am trying to write a converter module
which reads/writes G3/G4 FAX files, and produces my standard bitmap format.
