cabinet.dll dev. - Using external compression libraries

[Gerold J. Wucherpfennig]

Hi all,

I'd like to use an LGPL licensed LZX compressor for the compression part of
cabinet.dll. What's the best way to accomplish this?

- copy and pasting the code as required.
- dynamically loading an elf library at runtime
- do configure checks at ./configure and link statically
- do the same and link dynamically
- checkin a windows-version of this LZX compressor to wine cvs and use that at
  runtime.
