As a matter of fact, they do:

% ./lzma --help

lzma 4.32.0beta3 Copyright (C) 2005 Ville Koskinen
Based on LZMA SDK 4.32 Copyright (C) 1999-2005 Igor Pavlov

Usage: ./lzma [flags and input files in any order]
  -c --stdout       output to standard output
  -d --decompress   force decompression
  -z --compress     force compression
  -k --keep         keep (don't delete) input files
  -f --force        force overwrite of output file and compress links
  -t --test         test compressed file integrity
  -S .suf  --suffix .suf   use suffix .suf on compressed files
  -q --quiet        suppress error messages
  -v --verbose      be verbose
  -h --help         print this message
  -L --license      display the license information
  -V --version      display version numbers of LZMA SDK and lzma
  -1 .. -2          fast compression
  -3 .. -9          good to excellent compression. -7 is the default.
     --fast         alias for -1
     --best         alias for -9 (usually *not* what you want)

My work will just be to upgrade the SDK in there with the most recent
one.
