while keeping the decompression speed fast.

XZ Utils are an attempt to make LZMA compression easy to use
on free (as in freedom) operating systems. This is achieved by
providing tools and libraries which are similar to use than the
equivalents of the most popular existing compression algorithms.

XZ Utils consist of a few relatively separate parts:
* liblzma is an encoder/decoder library with support for several
filters (algorithm implementations). The primary filter is LZMA.
* libzfile enables reading from and writing to gzip, bzip2 and
LZMA compressed and uncompressed files with an API similar to
the standard ANSI-C file I/O.
* libzfile (or whatever the name will be) enables reading from and
writing to gzip, bzip2 and LZMA compressed and uncompressed files
with an API similar to the standard ANSI-C file I/O.
[ NOTE: libzfile is not implemented yet. ]
* lzma command line tool has almost identical syntax than gzip
* xz command line tool has almost identical syntax than gzip
and bzip2. It makes LZMA easy for average users, but also
provides advanced options to finetune the compression settings.
* A few shell scripts make diffing and grepping LZMA compressed

Version numbering
Starting from LZMA Utils 5, the version number of LZMA Utils has
absolutely nothing to do with the version number of LZMA SDK or
