Reinstate the temporary files for decompression to stdout and testing as the damaged line reinstated last commit meant it looked like those combinations worked when they actually didn't.
Compression from stdin still works without temporary files.

2. It requires a lot of memory to get the best performance out of, and is not

really usable (for compression) with less than 256MB. Decompression requires

less ram and works on smaller ram machines.

Q. Does it work on stdin/stdout?

A. Yes it does. The two most common uses, compression from stdin and

decompression to stdout work nicely. However the other combinations of

decompression from stdin and compression to stdout use temporary files on

use that?
