This is an interesting idea, but don't expect this to be implemented any
time soon. Among other things we'll need to integrate support for this
into the CUPS file APIs and be able to do auto-detection of the
compression format when reading.

LZMA as a format has also not been standardized like GZIP/Flate, so we'd
want to make sure that issue is covered before we adopt it.
