This package has a unique layout, it isn't divided by base/devel like most of
Fedora's packages, because this code isn't actually built, it's just dropped in
/usr/share.

Is the idea that other packages will BuildRequires: this SDK package, then
build the SDK code directly into their applications? If so, I'm a bit
uncomfortable with that approach, since it is effectively bundling copies of
the lzma-SDK into other packages.

Especially since we already seem to have more recent (and compiled) versions of
this code in the "lzma" package.

If this is just an issue of the older lzma being needed because of
incompatibilities with the newer "lzma" package, I'd rather see this be a
compat library package.
