Anyway, I looked at the native API for lzma and typical usage looks like this:

    rc = elzma_compress_config(hand, ELZMA_LC_DEFAULT,
                               ELZMA_LP_DEFAULT, ELZMA_PB_DEFAULT,
                               5, (1 << 20) /* 1mb */,
                               format, inLen);
    ...
    rc = elzma_compress_run(hand, inputCallback, (void *) &ds,
        outputCallback, (void *) &ds);

In other words, the same type of shitty C API found in ZLib - no thanks.
