you should have sent that mail earlier.  I've been doing some work on
this and have already checked in a few recipes.

I am not sure this is the most appropriate.  My tests indicate a size
increase of at least 100%.

I think my work should be pretty well documented in bug 3711.  There are
uncommitted bits and pieces I have flying around locally, but the
general direction is spelt out there.

Before starting work, you should always consult the bug tracker.  If
there is no ticket about a task yet, open a new one.  This saves us from
a lot of frustration and double work.

As far as lzma module is concerned, I think it's also been done
somewhere.  "rgrep lzma packages/" is your friend.
