The p7zip variant did not include a decompressor in C, so I went with
the lzma sdk for compression. We might want to check which variant of
lzma is present before we use it to compress a payload.

As soon as somebody finds time to create a package. I have not checked
yet whether other distributions (Mandriva etc.) supply the SDK or the
p7zip version in their RPMs.
If nobody has time, I'll look into creating packages after 2007-04-21.
