This simple patch adds support for the xz archive format to makepkg and repo- add. Xz can be used as source, package and package db file type.

I did not test this patch at all, but it should work. You'll need xz-utils and recompile libarchive.

I did not check acman itself, but it should support it out-of-the-box, right?

Next step will be adding support for xz in our devtools.

Applied, thanks. We still have some concerns with the delta stuff but no need to hold this work up. -Dan
