Haskell bindings to [lzlib](https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html).

This package includes a high-level interface to lzlib. It provides performance
comparable to the [lzip](https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/) command-line tool.

## Comparison

Compared to the [lzip](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lzip) Haskell library:

  * Uses `c2hs` instead of `hsc2hs`
  * Provides a high-level (`ByteString`-based) API

## Hacking

Run

```bash
make
```

to download a few tarballs before running the test suite.
