    When building a binary distribution with TAR_COMP=xz, using the -9e flag
    (extremely high compression) results in substantial savings: for the
    Mavericks builds, bzip2 scores in at about 120mb, while xz at level 9
    scores about 60mb - a huge reduction!
    
    This of course takes significantly longer - but it does not affect
    decompression speed for end users, so it's certainly worth it.
