I hope that a small real decompressor proves to be more useful than lzip 
+ one_line_lunzip_script_calling_lzip-d.

Well, no. :-)

Lunzip has two modes; decompress and test. I put the -d for the sake of 
completeness. Perhaps I should define it in the manual like this:

"-d, --decompress              decompress (default)"

Another reason -d may be useful is if someone renames or links lunzip to 
lzip so that it can decompress packages without modifying the package 
manager, for example in the initial instalation of a distro.

Thanks for the feedback. This should be the case as the decompression 
code is as similar as possible between the two.


Best regards,
Antonio.
