Then at the very least we definitely need to update the docs. bsd.README states:
USE_XZ_SETS If "no", use the host "gzip" program to compress sets.
Otherwise use xz to compress things.
Default: "yes" for architectures with "enough" memory to
decompress, "no" for older ones.
Why would I as a user expect USE_PIGZGZIP to break USE_XZ_SETS, or conversely
USE_XZ_SETS to silently ignore USE_PIGZGZIP. That reeks of hidden magic.
