No problem. People needing a library will probably be able to compile it 
themselves. "Normal" users will most probably only use the lzip executable.

It is not about copyright assignment; you own the copyright of your 
changes. The GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, 
so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of 
previous versions.

I suppose a single unified diff file containig all the changes and 
including at the beginning a comment about who did the modifications 
will suffice. Please send it to my private address. There is no need to 
spam the list with repeated patches.
