commit 4b2224681fbc297bf585630b679d8540a02b78d3
Author: Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
Date:   Sat Mar 3 10:51:11 2012 +0100

    maint: use an optimal-for-grep xz compression setting
    
    * cfg.mk (XZ_OPT): Use -6e (determined empirically, see comments).
    This sacrifices a meager 60 bytes of compressed tarball size for a
    55-MiB decrease in the memory required during decompression.  I.e.,
    using -9e would shave off only 60 bytes from the tar.xz file, yet
    would force every decompression process to use 55 MiB more memory.
