Some time ago, someone suggested a patch which would "hardwire" this mechanism
into the C source code, by detecting the name of the link used to access the
program.
I found the suggestion "hackish-style" : wrong place, not the right
responsibility within the right layer, and therefore prone to maintenance
headache.
I would very much prefer that system create links, so that lz4cat means "lz4
-c".
This seems the right place.
So it becomes a packaging issue, related to "make install".
I'm accepting patches to make this work.

OK, I've been looking around and couldn't find a proper system-link-only
solution.
So I created the solution within release candidate r115, which installs an
lz4cat link into /usr/bin directory, and with active support from the CLI
program, translate it into lz4 -cd, as it is supposed to.
to get the new utility, use :
sudo make install
on a POSX system.
