BCM v0.06,0.07 is here! [!]

[nanoflooder]

Kefir is a very old Hun drink which sometimes can include less than 1% alcohol due to fermentation of milk.

There's even a common joke among here that sounds similar to "he hasn't drunk anything stronger than kefir in his life"

In Moscow, more popular, "...have nothing stronger than tea..."

OK, the compression engine of BCM v0.08 is mostly done and I may say it is definitely an improvement.

Two questions:

1. Default block size?

2. User interface. GZIP/BZIP2 like or "bcm e in out"? (The block size can be set as follows - "bcm e100000 enwik8 enwik8.bcm")

>Default block size
i would suggest to do some tests and tune it to MC efficiency/size formula, whatever you feel it
>block size can be set
imho kB is too small for block size so i'd prefer MB

- I like "bcm e in out" (why change UI from bcm v0.7?? ; I liked that too )
- blocksize in MB
- default like 4 or 8 MB
