I just wondered if anyone remembered what it was used for (and > if it still is)? I also looked in detail at the kernel and I also don't think it can be used by anything. Maybe it used to be used at some point, but I don't feel like grepping through the entire kernel history to find that :-) So I also think it can be removed. Anyway, the TARGET_PATH will make sure that our host-lzma is used.
