2009-05-22Make the default memory usage limit 40 % of RAM for bothLasse Collin1-50/+36
compressing and decompressing. This should be OK now that xz automatically scales down the compression settings if they would exceed the memory usage limit (earlier, the limit for compression was increased to 90 % because low limit broke scripts that used "xz -9" on systems with low RAM). Support spcifying the memory usage limit as a percentage of RAM (e.g. --memory=50%). Support --threads=0 to reset the thread limit to the default value (number of available CPU cores). Use UINT32_MAX instead of SIZE_MAX as the maximum in args.c. hardware.c was already expecting uint32_t value. Cleaned up the output of --help and --long-help.

Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.

the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo() on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf() support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were split into separate files, and CPU core count detection was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic part in process.c was commented out.

the comment in hardware.c already said.

lzma, unlzma, and lzcat in "make install" for backwards compatibility with LZMA Utils 4.32.x; I'm not sure if this should be the default though.
