I suspect xz will give better results than bzip2.

We'd have to install a more recent version of Ant ourselves in the Travis CI environment (or switch build system entirely), unfortunately.

I have since learned that xz is a bad format for software releases, but some more modern compression format would be nice.

And I can either generate uncompressed tarballs and compress using <exec, or switch to a Makefile-based build, without too much difficulty.
