There are three add commands right now: add, add-payload, add-stage.
The cbfstool code can't easily handle per-command options. So, doing
something like "cbfstool ROM add -c lzma FILE NAME" wont be easy.
I can refactor the code so that "add" and "add-lzma" share the same
code.
Another possibility would be to add getopt to cbfstool and move
compression selection for all add commands to it. For example,
something like "cbfstool -c lzma ROM add-payload FILE NAME". However,
that would require changing the build to use the new form everywhere.
