[WriteLog] what does the wl_cty.dat file do

[FireBrick]

I know that when you download a new wl_cty.dat file you must run the
CONVERSION program from the Writelog Programs.

I'm just curious what:
Adjacent prefixes coalesced
Redundant branches eliminated
etc.
mean.
Even on my rather quick 1.6mHz machine this takes quite a while.
So I'm just curious as to what this process is doing.
