The newer xz compression utility offers superiour compression efficiency *and* speed over bzip2. Since adoption of bzip2 never became near universal, we still provide gzip for those on older or more conservative systems. Furthermore, for smaller archives the performance penalty often doesn't pay for the savings in transfer time we might as well replace the 'smaller' bzip2 option with xz, which at least does better in this regard. Since Automake 1.11 isn't available in all environments yes (e.g. some scratchbox toolchains) we leave the old Makefile.am AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS line commented out. Just uncomment this to build on systems with older automakes. svn path=/trunk/vorbis/; revision=17614
