Thanks for the patches, but perhaps we could do something more useful 
for windows users. Could you make a complete, patched source package and 
a binary package of lzip-1.8? (Packages should be in the preferred 
format for distributing windows software, I guess).

If you make them and send them to my private address, I'll distribute 
them along with the original source and will include a link from lzip's 
home page giving you credit.

Given that lzip is mature, only bug fixes and (small) performance 
improvements are expected in future releases. So your packages can 
remain useful for a long time.


Regards,
Antonio.
