+ From llzip-0.03/README:
+
+ llzip is a hack on my lbzip2-0.17 release. I ripped out the
+ decompression stuff, and replaced the bzip2 compression with
+ the lzma compression from lzlib-0.7. llzip is mainly meant
+ as an assisted fork point for the lzip developers.
+ Nonetheless, I tried to review the diff against lbzip2-0.17
+ thoroughly, and I think llzip should be usable on its own
+ until something better appears on the net.
