Hi,

Some packages are now distributed with lzma compression instead of bzip2,
e.g. texinfo 4.12:

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/

Going back to gzip would be a regression, in particular there is a big
size difference (here 2.4 MB for gzip, 1.3 MB for lzma).

What changes does a Portfile need to select lzma?
