bulk copy of latest physfs to our misc/libphysfs since this seems to fix an off-by-1 error reliably hit in readln read of 1 byte probably introduced in the addition of the buffered read. Whether this is excessive or whether libphysfs should even be maintained by us is another matter. But at least we shouldn't crash

LZMA SDK Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Igor Pavlov
LZMA SDK provides the documentation, samples, header files, libraries,
and tools you need to develop applications that use LZMA compression.
LZMA is default and general compression method of 7z format
in 7-Zip compression program (www.7-zip.org). LZMA provides high
compression ratio and very fast decompression.
LZMA is an improved version of famous LZ77 compression algorithm.
It was improved in way of maximum increasing of compression ratio,
keeping high decompression speed and low memory requirements for
decompressing.

But it is fully compatible with LZMA from 7-Zip.
UNIX/Linux version
------------------
To compile C++ version of file->file LZMA, go to directory
C/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Alone
and type "make" or "make clean all" to recompile all.
In some UNIX/Linux versions you must compile LZMA with static libraries.

C/C++ source code of LZMA SDK is part of 7-Zip project.
You can find ANSI-C LZMA decompressing code at folder
C/7zip/Compress/Lzma
7-Zip doesn't use that ANSI-C LZMA code and that code was developed
specially for this SDK. And files from C/7zip/Compress/Lzma do not need
files from other directories of SDK for compiling.
7-Zip source code can be downloaded from 7-Zip's SourceForge page:

LZMA features
-------------
- Variable dictionary size (up to 1 GB)
- Estimated compressing speed: about 1 MB/s on 1 GHz CPU
- Estimated decompressing speed:
- 8-12 MB/s on 1 GHz Intel Pentium 3 or AMD Athlon
- 500-1000 KB/s on 100 MHz ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or other simple RISC
- Small memory requirements for decompressing (8-32 KB + DictionarySize)
- Small code size for decompressing: 2-8 KB (depending from
speed optimizations)
LZMA decoder uses only integer operations and can be
implemented in any modern 32-bit CPU (or on 16-bit CPU with some conditions).
Some critical operations that affect to speed of LZMA decompression:
1) 32*16 bit integer multiply
2) Misspredicted branches (penalty mostly depends from pipeline length)
3) 32-bit shift and arithmetic operations
Speed of LZMA decompressing mostly depends from CPU speed.
Memory speed has no big meaning. But if your CPU has small data cache,
overall weight of memory speed will slightly increase.
How To Use
----------
Using LZMA encoder/decoder executable
--------------------------------------
Usage: LZMA <e|d> inputFile outputFile [<switches>...]
e: encode file
d: decode file
b: Benchmark. There are two tests: compressing and decompressing
with LZMA method. Benchmark shows rating in MIPS (million
instructions per second). Rating value is calculated from
measured speed and it is normalized with AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU
results. Also Benchmark checks possible hardware errors (RAM
errors in most cases). Benchmark uses these settings:
(-a1, -d21, -fb32, -mfbt4). You can change only -d. Also you
can change number of iterations. Example for 30 iterations:
LZMA b 30
Default number of iterations is 10.
<Switches>
-a{N}: set compression mode 0 = fast, 1 = normal
default: 1 (normal)
d{N}: Sets Dictionary size - [0, 30], default: 23 (8MB)
The maximum value for dictionary size is 1 GB = 2^30 bytes.
Dictionary size is calculated as DictionarySize = 2^N bytes.
For decompressing file compressed by LZMA method with dictionary
size D = 2^N you need about D bytes of memory (RAM).
-fb{N}: set number of fast bytes - [5, 273], default: 128
Usually big number gives a little bit better compression ratio
and slower compression process.
-lc{N}: set number of literal context bits - [0, 8], default: 3
Sometimes lc=4 gives gain for big files.
-lp{N}: set number of literal pos bits - [0, 4], default: 0
lp switch is intended for periodical data when period is
equal 2^N. For example, for 32-bit (4 bytes)
periodical data you can use lp=2. Often it's better to set lc0,
if you change lp switch.
-pb{N}: set number of pos bits - [0, 4], default: 2
pb switch is intended for periodical data
when period is equal 2^N.
-mf{MF_ID}: set Match Finder. Default: bt4.
Algorithms from hc* group doesn't provide good compression
ratio, but they often works pretty fast in combination with
fast mode (-a0).
Memory requirements depend from dictionary size
(parameter "d" in table below).
MF_ID Memory Description
bt2 d * 9.5 + 4MB Binary Tree with 2 bytes hashing.
bt3 d * 11.5 + 4MB Binary Tree with 3 bytes hashing.
bt4 d * 11.5 + 4MB Binary Tree with 4 bytes hashing.
hc4 d * 7.5 + 4MB Hash Chain with 4 bytes hashing.
-eos: write End Of Stream marker. By default LZMA doesn't write
eos marker, since LZMA decoder knows uncompressed size
stored in .lzma file header.
-si: Read data from stdin (it will write End Of Stream marker).
-so: Write data to stdout
Examples:
1) LZMA e file.bin file.lzma -d16 -lc0
compresses file.bin to file.lzma with 64 KB dictionary (2^16=64K)
and 0 literal context bits. -lc0 allows to reduce memory requirements
for decompression.
2) LZMA e file.bin file.lzma -lc0 -lp2
compresses file.bin to file.lzma with settings suitable
for 32-bit periodical data (for example, ARM or MIPS code).
3) LZMA d file.lzma file.bin
decompresses file.lzma to file.bin.
Compression ratio hints
-----------------------
Recommendations
---------------
To increase compression ratio for LZMA compressing it's desirable
to have aligned data (if it's possible) and also it's desirable to locate
data in such order, where code is grouped in one place and data is
grouped in other place (it's better than such mixing: code, data, code,
data, ...).
Using Filters
-------------
You can increase compression ratio for some data types, using
special filters before compressing. For example, it's possible to
increase compression ratio on 5-10% for code for those CPU ISAs:
x86, IA-64, ARM, ARM-Thumb, PowerPC, SPARC.
You can find C/C++ source code of such filters in folder "7zip/Compress/Branch"
You can check compression ratio gain of these filters with such
7-Zip commands (example for ARM code):
No filter:
7z a a1.7z a.bin -m0=lzma
With filter for little-endian ARM code:
7z a a2.7z a.bin -m0=bc_arm -m1=lzma
With filter for big-endian ARM code (using additional Swap4 filter):
7z a a3.7z a.bin -m0=swap4 -m1=bc_arm -m2=lzma
It works in such manner:
Compressing = Filter_encoding + LZMA_encoding
Decompressing = LZMA_decoding + Filter_decoding
Compressing and decompressing speed of such filters is very high,
so it will not increase decompressing time too much.
Moreover, it reduces decompression time for LZMA_decoding,
since compression ratio with filtering is higher.
These filters convert CALL (calling procedure) instructions
from relative offsets to absolute addresses, so such data becomes more
compressible. Source code of these CALL filters is pretty simple
(about 20 lines of C++), so you can convert it from C++ version yourself.
For some ISAs (for example, for MIPS) it's impossible to get gain from such filter.
LZMA compressed file format
---------------------------
Offset Size Description
0 1 Special LZMA properties for compressed data
1 4 Dictionary size (little endian)
5 8 Uncompressed size (little endian). -1 means unknown size
13 Compressed data
ANSI-C LZMA Decoder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To compile ANSI-C LZMA Decoder you can use one of the following files sets:
1) LzmaDecode.h + LzmaDecode.c + LzmaTest.c (fastest version)
2) LzmaDecode.h + LzmaDecodeSize.c + LzmaTest.c (old size-optimized version)
3) LzmaStateDecode.h + LzmaStateDecode.c + LzmaStateTest.c (zlib-like interface)
Memory requirements for LZMA decoding
-------------------------------------
LZMA decoder doesn't allocate memory itself, so you must
allocate memory and send it to LZMA.
Stack usage of LZMA decoding function for local variables is not
larger than 200 bytes.
How To decompress data
----------------------
LZMA Decoder (ANSI-C version) now supports 5 interfaces:
1) Single-call Decompressing
2) Single-call Decompressing with input stream callback
3) Multi-call Decompressing with output buffer
4) Multi-call Decompressing with input callback and output buffer
5) Multi-call State Decompressing (zlib-like interface)
Variant-5 is similar to Variant-4, but Variant-5 doesn't use callback functions.
Decompressing steps
-------------------
1) read LZMA properties (5 bytes):
unsigned char properties[LZMA_PROPERTIES_SIZE];
2) read uncompressed size (8 bytes, little-endian)
3) Decode properties:
CLzmaDecoderState state; /* it's 24-140 bytes structure, if int is 32-bit */
if (LzmaDecodeProperties(&state.Properties, properties, LZMA_PROPERTIES_SIZE) != LZMA_RESULT_OK)
return PrintError(rs, "Incorrect stream properties");
4) Allocate memory block for internal Structures:
state.Probs = (CProb *)malloc(LzmaGetNumProbs(&state.Properties) * sizeof(CProb));
if (state.Probs == 0)
return PrintError(rs, kCantAllocateMessage);
LZMA decoder uses array of CProb variables as internal structure.
By default, CProb is unsigned_short. But you can define _LZMA_PROB32 to make
it unsigned_int. It can increase speed on some 32-bit CPUs, but memory
usage will be doubled in that case.
5) Main Decompressing

return LZMA_RESULT_OK;
}
CBuffer g_InBuffer;
g_InBuffer.File = inFile;
g_InBuffer.InCallback.Read = LzmaReadCompressed;

6) Free all allocated blocks
Note
----
LzmaDecodeSize.c is size-optimized version of LzmaDecode.c.
But compiled code of LzmaDecodeSize.c can be larger than
compiled code of LzmaDecode.c. So it's better to use
LzmaDecode.c in most cases.
EXIT codes
-----------
LZMA decoder can return one of the following codes:
#define LZMA_RESULT_OK 0
#define LZMA_RESULT_DATA_ERROR 1
If you use callback function for input data and you return some
error code, LZMA Decoder also returns that code.
LZMA Defines
------------
_LZMA_IN_CB - Use callback for input data
_LZMA_OUT_READ - Use read function for output data
_LZMA_LOC_OPT - Enable local speed optimizations inside code.
_LZMA_LOC_OPT is only for LzmaDecodeSize.c (size-optimized version).
_LZMA_LOC_OPT doesn't affect LzmaDecode.c (speed-optimized version)
and LzmaStateDecode.c
_LZMA_PROB32 - It can increase speed on some 32-bit CPUs,
but memory usage will be doubled in that case
_LZMA_UINT32_IS_ULONG - Define it if int is 16-bit on your compiler
and long is 32-bit.
_LZMA_SYSTEM_SIZE_T - Define it if you want to use system's size_t.
You can use it to enable 64-bit sizes supporting
C++ LZMA Encoder/Decoder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C++ LZMA code use COM-like interfaces. So if you want to use it,
you can study basics of COM/OLE.
By default, LZMA Encoder contains all Match Finders.
But for compressing it's enough to have just one of them.
So for reducing size of compressing code you can define:
#define COMPRESS_MF_BT
#define COMPRESS_MF_BT4
and it will use only bt4 match finder.
