+ *fill will be called (repeatedly...) to read data, at most XXX_IOBUF_SIZE
+ *bytes should be read per call. Replace XXX with the appropriate decompressor
+ *name, i.e. LZMA_IOBUF_SIZE.

+ *If flush = NULL, outbuf must be large enough to buffer all the expected
+ *output. If flush != NULL, the output buffer will be allocated by the
+ *decompressor (outbuf = NULL), and the flush function will be called to
