    Prefer dist-xz to dist-bzip2. This requires automake 1.11. · 31a853e0
    Ralph Giles authored
    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.
