Heh. I was thinking about whether to bother with this one. A couple
of factors:
* adding zstd in the same fashion will take ~ 2 minutes
* there are, imo, no additional algorithms worth considering, so it
isn't a bottomless well of feature requests
* I guess the ideal for users would be a config item that controls the
order of selection:
BACKUP_COMPRESS=xz gz zstd # eg. would never try bzip2
I can't imagine it getting more complicated than that..
Cheers,
Matt
