Historically, xorg packages were usually provided as .gz and .bz2

If all or even most current packages use .xz, then maybe just default to that
and define XORG_SRC_COMPRESSION for the (current) exceptions?
Yeah, I went back and forth on what the default should be here.
It's only most packages, since it relies on someone remembering to
change the compressions in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, which sometimes hasn't
happened.
Changing the default changes the meaning of old .cygport files in a way
that probably breaks them.
