[issue6715] xz compressor support

After disabling a bunch of services and skipping the tests that are
failing on the Windows buildbots, it seems that the failures I was
getting last week have disappeared. It looks like they were due to the
Windows search indexer preventing temp directories from being deleted... >_>

I tried to test this out, but it looks like liblzma.a is missing from the
SVN repo. There should be files with that name in the bin_i486 and
bin_x86-64 directories.

Apart from this, is there anything else that needs to be done before this
change can be committed to the main repo?
