We had a talk with naddy about it, but since there are people
using archivers/lzma with whatever syntax it has, in scripted
environments, I'm inclined not to surprise them very much. I
think a wrapper can be added to lzmautils for full
backwards-compatibility, I may look at it later.

Also, the lzmautils website claims it's of alpha-quality, so I'm
also hesitant to rely on it completely. At any rate, I think
having a reference implementation of lzma util in ports is a good
thing. OTOH, changing lzmautils' lzma to another name would
probably confuse gtar (I'm not sure though).
