LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK and LIBEWF_FORMAT_LVF deprecated. What should use? #197

I'm compiling an old tool called guymager that seems to use LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK. Indeed, when I compile it, I get the error:

config.cpp:297:30: error: 'LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'LIBEWF_FORMAT_EWF'?
  297 |       {  "FTK"     ,         LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK    },
      |                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                              LIBEWF_FORMAT_EWF
make: *** [Makefile:992: config.o] Error 1

I guess that the latest versions of libewf removed it. What should be the replacement of it? LIBEWF_FORMAT_EWF or LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK_IMAGER? Or another one?

I have the same issue for LIBEWF_FORMAT_LVF. Should I use LIBEWF_FORMAT_LOGICAL_ENCASE5?

First of all this is the experimental version of libewf and not recommended for production purposes, use https://github.com/libyal/libewf-legacy/tree/main instead.

LIBEWF_FORMAT_LVF and LIBEWF_FORMAT_FTK have been on the deprecation list for a while https://github.com/libyal/libewf-legacy/blob/main/include/libewf/definitions.h.in#L94
