Static linking support

[ajeetdsouza]

Hey, thanks for a fantastic crate! It would be great if you could support static linking - that way, we wouldn't have to rely on the host computer having liblzma installed.

Thank you, but I'm sorry to say I'm not maintaining this repo at the moment. There are better lzma Rust crates.

Hi @fpgaminer , It's not valid to say other crates are better. I have some issues with basic xz extraction on other crates while I am getting no issues when using your crate. Please refer to these issues:

• https://github.com/alexcrichton/xz2-rs/issues/112
• https://github.com/gendx/lzma-rs/issues/97
• https://github.com/gendx/lzma-rs/issues/98

I have added support for static linking to your crate in this fork. Would you accept a PR?

It's not valid to say other crates are better.

I mean, they're better because they're maintained... ostensibly, anyway. Odd that your issue on xz2-rs hasn't been touched.

Sure, a PR would be welcome. Please fix the typo(s) if you have a moment.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of similar issues on xz2: https://github.com/alexcrichton/xz2-rs/issues/75#issuecomment-780776200

Merged, and I've pushed a new version to crates.io.
