  Description     : XZ Utils

LZMA is a general purpose compression algorithm designed by
Igor Pavlov as part of 7-Zip. It provides high compression ratio
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.


The most interesting part is liblzma, which can be used in another
programs.
