Packaging looks almost good. The binaries in usr/bin are missing
the .exe suffix for some reason.

Hi,
It was built and installed that way with cygport (Cygwin 1.7), the
provided non-autotools build system for lzip was originally designed
for Linux, eg "g++ -o bar foo.o".
I think it has something to do with the rename() thing, but
That would be a bit surprising. I'm wondering what `make install'
does in this package since something like
install -s -m755 foo.exe $(bindir)/foo
will create a foo.exe file in $(bindir). You should really check
what happens. If it's a problem in Cygwin 1.7, I'd rather like to
know about it.
Uh, I see. If you install without stripping, and the $(EXEEXT) is
missing in the target, you get the file w/o .exe suffix:
install -m 755 foo$(EXEEXT) $(bindir)/foo
That's necessary, otherwise you would never have a chance to rename
an executable so that it has no suffix.
So, for portability, it would make sense to change the Makefile to
add $(EXEEXT) to the install target as well:
install -m 755 foo$(EXEEXT) $(bindir)/foo$(EXEEXT)
