Nick pulled lha tonight.  If lha is to be put back in, someone will
need to find and write to Yooichi.Tagawa and find out what its license
is.

The codebase Heather found

* is actually just an earlier version of the same program
* is also written by Yooichi Tagawa (because it's the same codebase)
* contains a 1992 patch from a relative of mine (!)
* is in pre-ANSI K&R C (you see function definitions like
	int foo(bar) int bar; { /* blah */ }
  )
* won't build for me

So, I say no lha.
