Yupp, Lasse Colin has yet to do much work on it unfortunately, same goes
for the block filter, both of which would make things quite sweeet. :D

XZ aside, while still being on the topic of payload compression, have you
had any thoughts on implementing support for LZ4?
I remember we discussed lzo in the past, and how it could've been
convenient for source payload compression, but the library released under
GPL caused problems.
The LZ4 libraries OTOH are BSD licensed, with compression ratio & speed
being negligibly worse, while decompression speed being about 3x as fast.

Unless you have any plans or any thoughts about it being a waste of time, I
might just take a stab at it some day when I have nothing better to do... :)
