XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a
high compression ratio.  XZ Utils is the successor to LZMA Utils.

The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on the LZMA SDK.
The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used
inside the .xz container format.  With typical files, XZ Utils
creates output 30% smaller than gzip and 15% smaller than bzip2.

The XZ Utils package consists of several components:

* liblzma is a compression library with an API similar to that of zlib.
* xz is a command line tool with syntax similar to that of gzip.
* xzdec is a decompression-only tool smaller than the full-featured xz tool.
* A set of shell scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, etc.) have been adapted
  from gzip to ease viewing, grepping, and comparing compressed files.
* Emulation of the command line tools of LZMA Utils eases transition
  from LZMA Utils to XZ Utils.

Update to bugfix release 5.0.3 to keep this somewhat in sync with
what's in base on 8-STABLE and 9-CURRENT.

Update to 5.0.1.  User-visible changes:
* xz --force now (de)compresses files that have setuid, setgid,
  or sticky bit set and files that have multiple hard links.
  The man page had it documented this way already, but the code
  had a bug.
* gzip and bzip2 support in xzdiff was fixed.

Update to first non-beta release 5.0.0.
This only affects branches that don't have xz in base yet, principally 7.x.

- Replace patch-configure.ac with patch-configure
- remove USE_AUTOTOOLS

As we want to use xz for extraction of port's distfiles,
it cannot depend on autoconf.

Mark IGNORE if xz is already in the base system.

* Enable assembly language optimizations on amd64.
* Use system byte-swapping functions.
