Please find attached ebuild and digest files for a library providing extremely
fast (under certain conditions even real-time!) lossless compression and
decompression. 
It is similar to zlib, however based on a different algorithm.
This library would be ideal for somebody who would like to get some compression
for his data without a speed sucrifice. 
Compression ration is lagging behind zlib, however not by a large margin
(depends on type of file of course). In my tests (binary data with significant
white noise) it would perform 1.5x compression (gzip would compress ~1.8) and it
was ~6x faster that zlib (even faster for decompression)!

please see:
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
for more information.

I suggest to put it in dev-libs/lzo. No dependencies.

George
