* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
---
Lasse Collin raised this issue and suggested the fix.
This is especially useful when you run "make dist" or "make distcheck"
and just want it to complete quickly -- i.e., you don't require maximum
compression because you're not about to distribute the resulting tarball,
so the extra cycles to shave off 5-10% would be wasted. Personally,
I will make the default for my projects be -7 or so, while for release,
I automatically use -9ev already, by specifying XZ_OPT=-9ev in the rule
that invokes "make dist".
Let me know if you'd like a NEWS entry, or any other change.
