Works fine now:
$ exigrep arekm main.log.bz2
Didn't find bz2 decompressor for main.log.bz2

But now I wonder if this shouldn't be fatal error?

Example, if there is no bzcat and we do:
$ exigrep arekm main.log.bz2 main2.log.lzma
then I'll get one line error on stderr and for example 824 lines of real output
(from lzma) file. It's very easy to miss "Didn't find bz2" error message there.

IMO it should simply fail if doesn't find required decompressors. That's likely
more sane and less misleading behaviour.


ps. the lzma.bz2 was just mistake when testing various combinations :)
