It looks like being able to use lzma (actually xz) is going to be possible
for this release. I have a concern about making the versions of livecd-
creator squashfs-tools that supports this available on whatever system is
used to build the official spins. Currently the support for this is going
to be just for F15. squashfs-tools 4.2 is needed for the proper support.
I'd rather not do that update on F14 or F13.
Also xz compression doesn't get made the default for livecd-creator in F15
or the F14 version of livecd-creator is used (with an updated squashfs-
tools), the compression type will need to be specified when doing the
build. Which is different than what has been done in the past.
