I'd like to express my disapointment that this patch went in.  Today I
updated my repo and went to find out why my epia-cn reverted (yet
again) to doing lzma uncompression without caching.  I had to wade
through the effects of this patch.  This patch is a regression - it
makes the code harder to understand.
