This new package provides "lzma_alone" host binary based on the original
LZMA SDK. It provides few extra options when compared to the LZMA Utils
/ XZ Utils project "lzma" binary (already packaged as the "lzma").
This packaging schema (LZMA SDK with lzma -> lzma_alone rename) follows
Debian's solution. Please note that Debian also uses LZMA SDK for the
base "lzma" tool which may be considered for Buildroot too - as an
independent change. Similar packaging is also used by Ubuntu & Arch.
lzma_alone is a requirement for preparing firmware images for some
Broadcom based home routers with a picky CFE bootloader. It has limited
LZMA support and building compatible images requires specifying
dictionary size and lc/lp/pb LZMA values manually.
Version 9.22 is used as it's the last release using .tar.bz2 format. The
same version is used by Debian.
