________________________________________________________________________________

XZ Utils (previously LZMA Utils) is a set of free software command-line lossless
data compressors, including lzma and xz, for Unix-like operating systems and,
from version 5.0 onwards, Microsoft Windows.

In most cases, xz achieves higher compression rates than alternatives like gzip
and bzip2. Decompression speed is faster than bzip2, but slower than gzip.
Compression can be much slower than gzip, and is slower than bzip2 for high
levels of compression, and is most useful when a compressed file will be used
many times. [0]

[002] Setup
________________________________________________________________________________

To use xz as the package manager's compression method for build tarballs, set
the environment variable KISS_COMPRESS to 'xz'. If xz will not be used as the
package manager's compression method, no such setup is required.
