Thanks for asking. :-)

Matias A. Fonzo (from Dragora) and I are already working on the "lzip 
decompression support within busybox" part. The plan is to adapt the C 
code from lunzip, which should not be too difficult.

As soon as it is done I'll announce it in this list (and CC you, of course).


Best regards,
Antonio.
