[Spacewalk-list] Support for LZMA-compressed comps.xml

I've started trying to bring online a Fedora 21 distro/kickstart profile against our Spacewalk 2.1 server. Unlike others who have had trouble getting the fedora installer generation to work, it mostly seems to be working for me. I'm not sure if that is because I am using 2.1 instead of 2.2 or if
