No lzma sdk in fedora

[Chen Lei]

I realized from "http://tukaani.org/xz/"  the core of the xz utils compression code is based on LZMA SDK, but it has been modified quite a lot to be suitable for XZ Utils. 
So I think we should ship lzma sdk for fedora in parallel with xz utils and p7zip. Since xz utils are the successor to lzma utils, maybe lzma utils can be safely retired in fedora.
In addition to reasons above, there are few stuff which requires lzma-libs actually.
repoquery --whatrequires liblzmadec.so.0
lzma-libs-0:4.32.7-2.fc11.i586
libarchive-0:2.6.2-1.fc11.i586
lzma-devel-0:4.32.7-2.fc11.i586
