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 otherwise, 
it runs perfectly fine.

http://www.cadforte.com/cygwin-uploader/lzip/lzip-1.8-1.tar.bz2 now has 
the .exe extension, but filesize is smaller for some reason, the 
original tarball without the "exe" extension is available as 
"lzip-1.8-1.tar.bz2.bk" in the same directory.
