The p7zip variant did not include a decompressor in C, so I went with the lzma sdk for compression. We might want to check which variant of lzma is present before we use it to compress a payload. >> Note to self: Document that we're using latest lzma sdk and NOT the >> p7zip variant, which has incompatible command line syntax and >> incompatible compression format. > > Good.

I have not checked yet whether other distributions (Mandriva etc.) supply the SDK or the p7zip version in their RPMs. If nobody has time, I'll look into creating packages after 2007-04-21.
