scripts/functions: add xz support

Add support for the new XZ-compressed tarballs. At least glibc
uses that new format.

2011-05-04scripts/functions: test for decompressors before use

scripts/functions: test for decompressors before use

./configure does check for the presence of gz and bzip2, so we can
safely use them in the build scripts.

On the other hand, more recent formats (eg. XZ) are not yet widely
available, and we do not want, and can't, force the user to install
them as a pre-requisite.

So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available
decompressors. For no, this is a static list, but the upcoming XZ
support will conditionnaly add to this list.

2011-08-10configure: add test for xz-utils
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Wed, 10 Aug 2011 23:13:46 +0200] rev 2607
configure: add test for xz-utils

Some upstream now release tarballs compressed with xz, along with the
more traditional bzip2 and/or gzip tarballs. xz (and its predecessor
lzma) achieves better compression, so is a good candidate to shorten
the time it takes to download the source tarballs.

Enable downloading xz-cmopressed tarballs if the user has xz-utils.

configure: do not require lzma

Nothing uses lzma now, so we can get rid of it.

2011-08-14kernel/linux: simplify custom tarball handling

kernel/linux: simplify custom tarball handling

Simplify the way the custom tarball is handled:
- fake version="custom"
- at download, simply link the custom tarball to:
"linux-custom.${custom_extension}"
- at extract, the above allows to simply extract "linux-${LINUX_VERSION}"
where LINUX_VERISON is set to the fake version="custom"

Not that much convoluted, in fact... :-/

2011-08-14kernel/linux: deprecate copying headers from pre-instaleld headers

kernel/linux: deprecate copying headers from pre-instaleld headers

No-one ever inquired about this feature. Due to the way it works, it is
rather unlikely that every user used a properly-formatted tarball, or a
properly structured directory as imput.

Beside, it is not really easy to maintain: I just spent one full day
remembering how it worked... Sigh... :-(

Just deprecate this, until next release, or until someone complains.
