+lz4 (compression algorithm)
+
+LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at
+400 MB/s per core (0.16 Bytes/cycle). It also features an extremely fast
+decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core (0.71 Bytes/cycle). A high
+compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is also provided. It trades CPU
+time for compression ratio.
+
+This build includes liblz4 and the command-line lz4 tools.
