6757	Add lzw_compressor and lzw_decompressor filters	dtrebbien@…	Jonathan Turkanis	"Boost.IOstreams has support for BZ2, GZIP, and DEFLATE compression/decompression.  To be able to read output from the POSIX-standard `compress` utility, it would be nice if the library also supported compression and decompression with the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm.

Here are some LZW implementations that might be of use:
