Is lzip expected to be portable?  Did you receive the email (and 
patch) that I sent to you a day ago regarding a portability issue?

What operating systems and compilers has Lzip been demonstrated to 
work with?

Note that 'xz' caused compilation problems for me as well so 
apparently it is not properly portable.  Normally I expect open source 
software to build with GCC but such was not the case for me with 'xz'.
