It is certainly possible to add --list to lzip, but I have not done it 
because it would cause portability problems on non-posix systems.

I'll see if I can implement it in a portable way (or at least disable it 
on non-posix systems).

BTW, --list is already implemented in lziprecover[1] and I plan to 
implement it in plzip because these tools already use the functions 
needed to implement --list.
