Going forward, there should be a -libs package (and probably a -devel package)

source to convert to using -libs. The reasons have to do with ten years
of history: the original author of lzma resisted providing libraries,
the internal interfaces changed too rapidly, the original licensing
was too restrictive, etc. Today
http://7-zip.org/sdk.html says
"LZMA SDK is placed in the public domain".
That is the standard stuff. What I was really asking is if there should
be a source package so that upx could be built without having a second
copy of the SDK in another srpm?
