Well nice to see that finally someone did create a 7z based tool that 
is compliant to the standard compress CLI that is able to correctly operate on 
pipes.

I was looking for such a beast for star since aprox. 4 years.
I added support for automated recognition to the next version of star.

If I would use xz, I would need to put the source into 
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schillix/ for convenience as I expect few people 
to have it already.
