The GitHub repo at <https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz> has been
deactivated, but there's another xz repo (likely the original one)
at <https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz>.  The most recent commit
in that repo is "CMake: Fix sabotaged Landlock sandbox check.".

I have no inside knowledge about any of this.

I'm running the Cygwin setup right now.  It reverts the xz package
from 5.6.1-1 to 5.4.6-1.  Only 5.4.2-1 and 5.4.6-1 are available.
