Lzip is supposed to be portable to posix systems with GCC. It is easy to port
lzip to some non-posix systems like OS/2[1].

That is good to hear. Does it compile with many different C++
compilers (besides GCC)? For example, does it compile under the
Microsoft Visual Studio compiler for Windows? I don't see Microsoft
Windows in your list.
I see a huge disparity in source distribution size:
% du -sh lzip-1.6-pre3 bzip2-1.0.4 gzip-1.2.4a xz-4.999.8beta
247K lzip-1.6-pre3
3.0M bzip2-1.0.4
787K gzip-1.2.4a
4.1M xz-4.999.8beta
SLOCCount (by David A. Wheeler) results:
lzip-1.6-pre3: 3,373
bzip2-1.0.4: 6,088
gzip-1.2.4a: 6,302
xz-4.999.8beta: 29,825
Given this huge disparity in source code size, what features have been
left out of lzip which may be of importance for Automake usage?
