Conclusions:
1/ no, XZ_OPTS is not used by the machinery
Correct, looking back how automake dev list sees it either
1) $(MAKE) dist XZ_OPT=-9ev
for final relase
2) Create a GNUmakefile containing
export XZ_OPT=-9ev
and just passing all other rules to the default Makefile.
Standard makefiles can't easily set environment variables.
3) make new rule and use it instead of dist
(which is essentially the previous solution)
That's completely braindead. What are makefiles worth if it is not
possible to set variables. I do not understand why passing the variable
works but not setting it.
2/ but we don't care.
Hm, I tested both default/-9e compression levels and 800 kb difference
actually looks worth the previous effort to me...
I can revert if this saves a kitten somewhere. Or even do it as you see fit.
