Comment (by ryandesign@…):
Yes, this is interesting. I also wanted to investigate whether we could
use tar/libarchive to do xz compression since it's already included in OS
X 10.9 and later. Or we could include and build the libarchive source
code. Its BSD license might be preferable to xz's legally ambiguous
"public domain".
