I have only tried GCC. I think lzip compiles with all the native 
compilers of the posix systems listed in my previous message. I don't 
know if lzip compiles with Microsoft compilers. I do not use Microsoft

Lzip has got the same features that gzip and bzip2 have. I don't know of 
any feature which may be of importance for Automake usage that has been 
left out of lzip.
