Re: lzma please

Should anyone be interested, here is the patch I came up with to get mc
to grok LZMA compression. Well, I was done mucking with LHa for now and
was feeling a bit bored.

Once I had reinstalled  mc with this patch, all that remained was to
adjust cons.saver's group ownership to 'tty' and set its setgid bit to
ensure it worked equally well for peon and root on the console.
