Shouldn't this use the new "lzma" command from LZMA Utils 4.32,
rather than the old "lzmash" shell wrapper script for LZMA SDK ?
(the old "lzma" command from LZMA Utils 4.27 and/or LZMA SDK has
now been renamed as "lzma_alone" instead, to avoid name conflicts)

See http://tukaani.org/lzma/history and http://7-zip.org/sdk.html

LZMA Utils 4.42 is the best version since it has file magic and is
written in C (not C++), but unfortunately it is still in alpha...
The new LZMA format specification draft text is available online
at http://tukaani.org/lzma/header-format-14.txt now, by the way.

But 4.32.0beta5 ("lzma") should be better than 4.27.1 ("lzmash") ?
