are you sure? my 1.10.3 generated makefile knows dist-lzma, but not dist-xz
target. after hard fight i forced gentoo automake wrapper to choose 1.11.1 and
dist-xz appeared.

requiring 1.11 is not too much? i belive people start to scream
and we need this only for people wanting make dist, which is me
and Juergen later on...
and finally - hold your hat - when using the attached patch for xz
i got tarball half mega bigger then lzma, because autotools set
-9 compression level for lzma, but not for xz :/
any way how to set it up?
