Thanks, also for the timing testing.  I'm adding a NEWS entry and
applying your patch to a new lzip-support branch off of the
(unpublished, but you can get at it easily through master^2 from a
merge) maint branch, and merging that to master.  Due to the changes
in dist handling in master, this was a nontrivial merge, the interesting
part shown below.

Pushed master.  Not yet sure whether this warrants backporting to
branch-1.11 but anyway we should first wait and see whether problems in
master show up.

Thanks again,
Ralf
