This is -CURRENT of r231204, 9 Feb.

xzgrep seems to give up at first read().

$ yes a|head|xz|xzgrep -c a

$ yes a|head -100|xz|xzgrep -c a

$ yes a|head -10000|xz|xzgrep -c a

$ yes a|head -100000|xz|xzgrep -c a

bzgrep, zgrep and grep works as expected.

$ yes a|head|bzip2|bzgrep -c a

they are single binary (linked statically)

$ for f in xzgrep bzgrep zgrep grep; do ls -l $(which $f); done
