>> why not just LZMA the whole image?

ofw is like a "tar" of mostly gzipped files

ofw as distributed here  -> 338 kB
that image throught lzma -> 300 kB
compress idividual files -> 225 kB

It could make sense to include VSA and .. in this kind of
tar like a minifilesystem to avoid duplication of code.
