Why don't more people use lrzip.conf?

[pete4abw]

The lrzip.conf file is one of the least used features of lrzip-next. This is a shame. lrzip.conf can be used to set options for every execution of lrzip-next so they don't have to be input on the command line.

Options set in lrzip.conf can always be overridden on the command line, or ignored completely by using the environment variable LRZIP=NOCONFIG when invoking lrzip-next. When use always use a particular option or options, try lrzip.conf!
