slower.

* main.cc: Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been
reduced to extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now
compress less but faster. (-1 now takes 43% less time for only
20% larger compressed size).
* Compression ratio of option '-9' has been slightly increased.
* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-m, --merge' which tries to
produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more
damaged copies.
* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-R, --repair' for repairing
a 1-byte error in single-member files.
* decoder.cc (decode_member): Detect file errors earlier to
improve efficiency of lziprecover's new repair capability.
This change also prevents (harmless) access to uninitialized
memory when decompressing a corrupt file.
* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-f, --force'.
* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-o, --output'.
* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-s, --split' to select the

hash-table) have been tested and found no better than the
current BT4.

mode 0666 if umask allows it, deleted if interrupted by user.

been changed to improve linearity of compressed sizes.
