Not issue but suggestion: support .7z compression format

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I did some compression test: 

hash_esported.cow     = 9546M (100.00%)
hash_esported.cow.bz2 = 8574M ( 89.81%)
hash_esported.cow.gz  = 8484M ( 88.87%)
hash_esported.cow.7z  = 8196M ( 85.85%)

Move to .gz to .7z it is just only 3% on increment, yes, but in some cases
it could do the difference. By the way, save or not save 3% could means to
expand or not my raid5 array...

NOTE:
all compression are made with flag setted at maximum compression rateo.

LZMA is not supported in Python's stdlib and PyLZMA seems to be abandoned. I 
don't
want a dependency like this in Pyrit for now...

You should be able to pipe the output of 'passthrough' to the xv-compressor 
like this:

pyrit -i dict.gz -e linksys -o - passthrough | xz > linksys.xz
