Realistically I can't see making an F13 target for this. It wouldn't be
testable by alpha, and changing the spins to use lzma after that seems
like a bad idea. I'll wait another week before officially changing the
feture page to target f14. But unless the squashfs / lzma library
compatibility is fixed by next week, I don't think it is worth asking for
feature approval with an f13 target.

I will continue to work on getting squashfs-tools to support lzma in rawhide
and track the lmza/squashfs kernel packages (currently in linux-next for
2.6.34) and maybe ask for a backport to 2.6.33 in Fedora if it will help
with testing.

I'll do some testing using a private copy of livecd-tools during the f13
development period but won't try to get changes into f13. (Assuming the likely
event of the proposed feature being postponed to f14.)
