   @sally Generally there aren't really any other dependencies to depend on, as what is being implemented is a custom compression algorithm.
   
   The other reason is how you can't extract compressed archives of libraries without already having the decompressor, thus most compressor software avoids depending on itself.

     I've been checking lossless compressor utility source code for the last few days and I'm surprised how these have no bullshit dependency mess to deal with, in most systems it'll just take invoking make to build a binary, such as with zstd or lzip.
