The 3 lzma compression patches above seems to make things more
complicated than what should be necessary.

What about something like the patch below instead (available in
ramdisk-compression branch at
git://gitorious.org/~esben/oe-lite/esbens-core.git).

It does not add new USE flags, and sticks with the concept of the
ramdisk image being names the same independent of the compression
method, making integration much simpler.

Could those interested (Jacob?) please consider this, and if possible,
test if this is usable instead of the 3 patches submitted by Christian.

Great, I will merge this to master with the change.
