yes, this is easy. A simple post-pass like I did with LAR, take all
empty segments and turn them into "null" files.

LZMA decoding -- cbfs will let us have several types of decoders
available, one being lzma. cbfs is not done, it's work in progress but
I do see real progress. Things are going to be pretty good in the next
few weeks.
