As a matter of fact, they do:
% ./lzma --help
lzma 4.32.0beta3 Copyright (C) 2005 Ville Koskinen
Based on LZMA SDK 4.32 Copyright (C) 1999-2005 Igor Pavlov
Usage: ./lzma [flags and input files in any order]
-c --stdout output to standard output
-d --decompress force decompression
-z --compress force compression
-k --keep keep (don't delete) input files
-f --force force overwrite of output file and compress links
-t --test test compressed file integrity
-S .suf --suffix .suf use suffix .suf on compressed files
-q --quiet suppress error messages
-v --verbose be verbose
-h --help print this message
-L --license display the license information
-V --version display version numbers of LZMA SDK and lzma
-1 .. -2 fast compression
-3 .. -9 good to excellent compression. -7 is the default.
--fast alias for -1
--best alias for -9 (usually *not* what you want)
My work will just be to upgrade the SDK in there with the most recent
one.
