bundled lzma_sdk

[phajd...@chromium.org]

I was testing chromium-29.0.1541.0 today and it bundles lzma_sdk (http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html). It seems to be used only in one place, third_party/ots/src/woff2.cc . third_party/ots is OpenType (font) Sanitizer.

Is this packaged by Linux distributions? Is there possibly some other existing package with very similar functionality? I'm wondering what is the API/ABI policy of LZMA SDK project and whether it makes sense to create a Linux package for it and create unbundling code for Chrome (that should be an easy part).

No package in Arch Linux provides LzmaLib.h (included from the
woff2.cc file you mentioned). Instead, we ship XZ Utils¹ and also use
it as the default compression method for all packages.

Its API and ABI look pretty stable.²

No normal sources of Ubuntu contain LzmaLib.h either.
