I'm pleased to announce that as of changeset 74d182cf0187, the
standard library now includes support for the LZMA compression
algorithm

Congratulations!
I'd like to ask the owners of (non-Windows) buildbots to install the
XZ Utils development headers so that they can build the new module.

And don't worry about Windows builbots, they will automatically download
the XZ prebuilt�binaries from the usual place.
(svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/xz-5.0.3)

Next step: add support for tar.xz files (issue5689)...
