You can bet that there is a Linux version soon, and if it's good enough, it will end up in the default repo. For Windows, it's a different story, but maybe because of the iPhone and iPad, and many MS employees using them, will it be supported somewhere in the not so near future. Anyways, 7zip and Winzip will probably support it soon enough.

It compiles in Linux as is. There is a generic makefile.

It compiles fine with mingw-w64 on Windows. MSVC is a bit more involved due to the GCC extensions used. When LZFSE first came out I made a fork with the changes to compile with MSVC [1], but there wasn't any interest in it.
