Good stuff! rle_unpack can be used to copy packed sprite data and similar
things into place, replacing memcpy.

One suggestion: If you use the const qualifier as in

  unsigned int __fastcall__ rle_pack(unsigned char *dest,
                                     const unsigned char *src,
                                     unsigned int length);

  unsigned int __fastcall__ rle_unpack(unsigned char *dest,
                                       const unsigned char *src);

tools like lint are able to do better checking in case of problems. Advanced
compilers (not cc65) may also be able to generate better code if data is known
not to be writable.
