/**
@class wxLZMAInputStream
This filter stream decompresses data in XZ format.
XZ format uses LZMA2 algorithm for compression used for .xz files and is
similar to GZip or BZip2 format. Notice that it is different from, and
incompatible with, 7z archive format even although it uses the same
compression algorithm.
To decompress contents of standard input to standard output, the following
(not optimally efficient) code could be used:
@code
wxFFileInputStream fin(stdin);
wxLZMAInputStream zin(fin);
wxFFileOutputStream fout(stdout);
zin.Read(fout);
if ( zin.GetLastError() != wxSTREAM_EOF ) {
... handle error ...
}
@endcode
See @ref page_build_liblzma for information about liblzma, required in
order to use this class.

@class wxLZMAOutputStream
This filter stream compresses data using XZ format.
XZ format uses LZMA compression, making it (significantly) more efficient
than Gzip format used by wxZlibOutputStream. Output generated by this class
is compatible with xz utilities working with .xz files and also supported
by 7-Zip program, even though it is different from its native .7z format.
