I had to make some changes to the xz patch.

The code that was used for conftest had to be modified and I needed to add lzma to the link line. The urpmi patch worked fine.

Joseph,

Please try my modified versions of these patches. These are
compile-tested on Fedora and they don't break any existing
functionality, but I don't have either urpmi nor a statically-linked
xz so I cannot fully test them.

I have also fixed detection of zlib (2/3).

Rich.
