That setting should really just control what kind of archives are
generated locally, and there needs to be another one associated with
each archive source indicating what archive type(s) it provides. Of
course there's no way to configure multiple archive sources yet either
(apart from ARCHIVE_SITE_LOCAL with all its limitations). Maybe in 2.1.
