bzip2 format. It provides functions for reading from and writing to compressed
files in these formats.

This is an upgrade to the latest version. Changes include:
- Added function Zip.add_entry_generator. (Contributed by A. Frisch.)
- The "level" optional argument was sometimes not honored; fixed.
- Relicensed under LGPL 2.1 or above, with Caml's special exception

with ocaml 4.00.

- Add PIGZ environment variable [Mueller]
- Replicate gzip suffix search when decoding or listing
- Fix bug in load() to set in_left to zero on end of file
- Do not check suffix when input file won't be modified
- Decompress to stdout if name is "*cat" [Hayasaka]
- Write data descriptor signature to be like Info-ZIP

- Exit with code 2 if a warning has been issued
- Fix thread synchronization problem when tracing
- Change macro name MAX to MAX2 to avoid library conflicts

= Version 0.9.9
Added support for backslashes in zip files (generated by the default Windows
zip packer for example) and comment sections with the comment length set to zero
even though there is actually a comment.
* liblzma:
- Fix lzma_index_init(). It could crash if memory allocation failed.
- Fix the possibility of an incorrect LZMA_BUF_ERROR when a BCJ
filter is used and the application only provides exactly as
much output space as is the uncompressed size of the file.
- Fix a bug in doc/examples_old/xz_pipe_decompress.c. It didn't
check if the last call to lzma_code() really returned
LZMA_STREAM_END, which made the program think that truncated
files are valid.
- New example programs in doc/examples (old programs are now in
doc/examples_old). These have more comments and more detailed
error handling.
* Fix "xz -lvv foo.xz". It could crash on some corrupted files.
* Fix output of "xz --robot -lv" and "xz --robot -lvv" which
incorrectly printed the filename also in the "foo (x/x)" format.
* Fix exit status of "xzdiff foo.xz bar.xz".
* Fix exit status of "xzgrep foo binary_file".
* Fix portability to EBCDIC systems.
* Fix a configure issue on AIX with the XL C compiler. See INSTALL
for details.
* Update French, German, Italian, and Polish translations.
