[lzlib] Questions regarding minilzip

Hi,

I'm a bit a confused about the minilzip program included in lzlib, the
manpage says it's a test program, but also says that it's compatible
with lzip 1.4. Couple questions:

a) What exactly is "mini" about it?
b) Is it intended to be used as a functional lzip(1) replacement or
should it not be installed as such and only used for testing?
c) What's the "recommended" way to build the library but not build
minilzip? I can currently do `make liblz.so.1.14` but that seems a bit
odd. Would you be willing to add something like `make lib` and/or `make
static-lib` that builds the library only?

Thanks for writing and maintaining lzip.
