Using xz by default for compression

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

Here's a little caveat emptor for running default xz compression through the portarchivetype variable in macports.conf:

TBH, it took me a while to notice the bit about libintl . bzip2 indeed doesn't depend on libintl; can xz be built so that it doesn't either?
