thanks for your patch. At first I was worried that it might expand
the scope of 2ff too much, but it really is no problem.
However, I'm worry about other people approaching with questions to
also add lzma and other formats for completeness.

You probably had sent[0] in mind when you wrote this patch, but
looking at the filter rules

        static Filter filters[] = {
                { "\\.(png|jpg|gif)$", "2ff" },
        };

it is easy to add

        static Filter filters[] = {
                { "\\.ff.bz2$", "bunzip | 2ff" },
        };

with the same effect.

Can you give me a good reason or context example where adding the
compression support to 2ff proves to be useful?

Cheers
