I started working on LZMA support a couple of days ago.  I'm hoping to
get it finished for the 2.6.31 merge window, though I may miss this.
It depends on whether I hit any problems, and how soon the merge window
closes.

to play with. We can also play with the blocksize for squashfs, to see
if it'd make a difference
