>Description:
xz's automatic memory limit prevents building of ports like png even on
machines with adequate memory. In this forum post, a user with a 128M system
can't build the png port, which only needs 65M.
The patch uses the same method as ${GZIP} to add the -Mmax option to xz, making
all memory available.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build graphics/png on a system with 128M of RAM.
>Fix:
Apply attached patch.
