I suspect that I used these in the original version because
Autoconf's manual describes that such a trick is needed in
some specific situations for portability reasons. None of those
situations listed on Autoconf 2.71 manual apply to these test
scripts though so this cleans them up.
test_compress.sh now takes one command line argument:
a filename to be tested. If it begins with "compress_generated_"
the file will be created with create_compress_files.
This will allow parallel execution of the slow tests.
Testing compression at level -4 now requires 48 MiB of free store at
compression time and 5 MiB at decompression time.

broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a

specification. Simplify things by removing most of the
support for known uncompressed size in most places.
There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too.
The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some
more will be done soon. While most of the code has been
updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool
will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else).
Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be
updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter
has been decided.
