Thank you for supporting the lzip format. Your code is the proof that 
the lzip format can be easily supported by any LZMA compressor.

Dictionary sizes that are a power of two are more efficient and easier 
to implement. I do not plan to complicate lzip for the sake of finer 
dictionary size granularity. BTW, the correct range for dictionary bits 
is 12 to 30.

I would like, but I am unable to remember all the people that would like 
to know when I make a change in one of my projects. I advise you to 
subscribe to the lzip mailing list or to Freshmeat. This way you will 
receive a mail every time I release a new version.
