What's all this then?
It might be worth noting that at the same time I submitted the
LZMA-Utils recipe, I sent an lzma-patch to Atool, which is in the new
(0.34.0) release, which I also submitted a recipe for, so the current
version handles LZMA fine.
I did these things so that I could Compile the latest version (6.10)
of CoreUtils, which has only been released in .tar.gz and .tar.lzma,
the latter being 5.2 megs smaller (out of 8.8!) and I was not
downloading 5 extra megs over dialup.

So, since CoreUtils are fairly important, LZMA-archive support may
also be fairly important for the Scripts to have.
