Add orz

Could orz be added to the benchmarks? It is an ROLZ algorithm written in Rust

It's a lot of work because orz has to be compiled by Rust and linked as an external library to allow calling orz from C++ code. I will accept a contribution (pull-request) with orz if somebody will prepare it but orz would be run only if Rust compiler will be detected in OS.

Ah, I see... could it not be called as a binary from the command-line? Or would that invalidate results?

The idea behind lzbench is to use the same compilers with the same optimizations to compare compressors. Calling a binary creates additional layers (e.g. disk input and output) that will make a compressor slower.
