Re: archivers/xz builtin.mk

If I understand pkgsrc correctly, you aren't missing anything, although
I've only ever done things the other way around and tried to add a new
builtin.

You always need to set "USE_XZ=yes" because xz really is a dependency
and pkgsrc will build or not build archivers/xz as is generally
appropriate. e.g. for OSes that don't have xz built in.

My understanding is that "PREFER.xz=pkgsrc" is specifically for cases
like this where we know that the built in version is not what we want.
Maybe just add a conditional around "PREFER.xz=pkgsrc" so that it is
only set for NetBSD.

Cheers,
Lloyd
