Wow, this discussion has gotten quite busy while I've been travelling...

Martin, could you explain what the problems are with bundling a precompiled DLL
for Windows? I am willing to do the work of getting liblzma to compile with VS
if necessary, but I don't know how receptive the upstream maintainer will be to
the changes. If I can explain how lack of VS support is a problem for us, the
request should carry more weight.
