	  reduces compression time for large values of '--match-length'
	  by up to 6%.
	* Compression time of option '-0' has been reduced by 2%.

	* fast_encoder.h fast_encoder.cc: New files.
	* main.cc: Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been
	  reduced to extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now

	  produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more
	  damaged copies.

	  a 1-byte error in single-member files.
	* decoder.cc (decode_member): Detect file errors earlier to
	  improve efficiency of lziprecover's new repair capability.
	  This change also prevents (harmless) access to uninitialized
	  memory when decompressing a corrupt file.
	* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-f, --force'.
	* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-o, --output'.
	* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-s, --split' to select the
	  until now only operation of splitting multi-member files.

	  and do nothing.
	* main.cc: Fixed warning about fchown's return value being ignored.
	* decoder.cc: '-tvvvv' now also shows compression ratio.
	* main.cc: Set stdin/stdout in binary mode on MSVC and OS2.

	* testsuite: 'test1' renamed to 'test.txt'. Added new tests.
	* Matchfinder types HC4 (4 bytes hash-chain) and HT4 (4 bytes
	  hash-table) have been tested and found no better than the
	  current BT4.
