Hi JonY, Great! Thanks for your work. The latest patch also worked fine on my side.
While you're in the mood :-) Do you think that you can port the lzlib also to win32 / MinGW / MSYS ? I guess this is quite similar and easy after having done lzip itself - as as far as I know there's plenty of code duplication between lzip and lzlib.
