Please don't worry, it's going to be for more than just "the moment".

I don't know why it wouldn't. If it doesn't work please let us know. Also, you 
can find a more-recent version of lzip, built for Microsoft Windows, here:

https://cygwin.com/cygwin/packages/x86_64/lzip/

Perhaps the lzip web page should mention this next to where it mentions the 
older Windows32 port, as that might have helped you find this alternative. I'll 
CC: this message to bug-lzip to ask its maintainer about this.
