Hi,

So just to get a quick sanity check before I start.

We are missing lzma in py3.3 (or to be more precise we have the
beginnings of the module, but it's not passing any tests yet). Philip
hinted to me recently that it would make sense to integrate lzmaffi. I
would like to work on that, but I will probably get stuck a few times,
so I'm planning to do some writeups on my blog as I go along (both for
note taking and debugging). Since it's an external project I was
planning to follow the same procedure that we use for stdlib, which is
described in stdlib-upgrade.txt. So start out with vendor/lzmaffi,
then branch off to py3.3-lzmaffi for integration work, finally merge
into py3.3.

Does that seem like a good approach?
