Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its small 
size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that 
need to decompress files but do not need compression capabilities. Lunzip is 
fully compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer and is able to decompress any lzip 
file using as little memory as 50 kB.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving, 
taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

Changes in this version:

  * Lunzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lunzip -t "").

  * Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the 
output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new 
description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only 
when decompressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
  lunzip -d -o foo - bar.lz < foo.lz
must now be split into:
  lunzip -d -o foo - < foo.lz
  lunzip -d bar.lz
or rewritten as:
  lunzip -d - bar.lz < foo.lz > foo

  * The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the 
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.

  * Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header 
in a multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message 
"Last member in input file is truncated or corrupt."

  * The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been 
documented in the output of '--help' and in the man page.

  * 9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
