I just implemented this after the lzip patch was merged... Did not even know
you discussed this. :-p

Good idea... So we could go with `xz -T0` to enable multi-threading (as this
can not be controlled via environment variable).
Then we document in man page how to influence compression level via
environment variable.

We have to set the environment variable from web server, no?

Do we also want to document GZIP, XZ_DEFAULTS & friends?
