Increase the default compression level to 9 from 6. This also increases decompression memory requirements from 9 MB to 65 MB.

I don't know whether it's needed to propagate the value to a sub-Makefile or automake expects it to be a shell variable when executing the command: tardir=libvirt-2.0.0 && tar --format=posix -chf - "$tardir" | XZ_OPT=${XZ_OPT--e} xz -c >libvirt-2.0.0.tar.xz
