Alternatives
A rival program for a standalone, gzip-style compressor using the LZMA algorithm is lzip (freshmeat.net/projects.... Also interesting is lrzip (freshmeat.net/projects...) which applies a preprocessing step before LZMA compression to get a better size/speed tradeoff, at the expense of memory usage.
