I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
I have just started reviewing these patches, I have a comment for them.

These patches require all users to prepare libeppic, but I think 
it's not good implementation because everyone has to build libeppic
from the source code themselves, it isn't desirable for the users who
don't need to use this feature.

So, I hope to change them to optional like LZO and snappy compression.
Is it possible ?


Thanks
