>Description:
	our liblzf, specifically the prototype of lzf_compress, is
	incompatible with the upstream version.  it causes problems for
	third party applications for which autoconf picks up our liblzf.
	eg. snappy

revision 1.2
date: 2010/02/03 03:55:38;  author: tls;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -2
Adjust liblzf to offer the LZF_STATE_ARG API, which is better for small-stack
environments (think bootblocks etc) and no worse elsewise (you can always
just pass the same state argument...) and have correct prototypes when doing
so.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
	a. revert the above change to make it compatible again
	  with the upstream.

	b. remove liblzf.  it seems that there are no users in our tree.
