Currently I thought only about bzip2/gzip. Probably .xz support would follow if any.

LZO, as you said, is on GPL-2. While I have no problems with GPL-2 some potential users may (Haskell tend to be BSD3 community). Does anyone knows if conditional compilation solves problem? In my interpretation of GPL-2 yes but I'm not sure.

Conditional compilation is tricky for licensing purposes, I think. But a 'iteratee-compress-lzo' or 'iteratee-compress-gpl' package would definitely avoid such issues.

I was going to suggest iteratee-compress-gpl... -- Live well, ~wren
