A Laszlo Molnar's MLP105 package may be useful. It contains an .EXE
files compressor with LZO compression library (LGPL!).
Some lines from LZO description:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Title:          LZO -- a real-time data compression library
Version:        0.24
Entered-date:   30NOV96
Description:    LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for
                data de-/compression in realtime. LZO implements a
                number of algorithms with the following features:
                - Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
                - Requires no memory for decompression.
                - Compression is pretty fast.
                - Requires 64kB of memory for compression.
                - Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
                  compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
                - Algorithm is thread safe.
                - Algorithm is lossless.
Keywords:       compression, library
