I think it is generally a bad idea to have something both in ports and in base,
at least if libraries are involved.  Depending on the vagaries of the include
and linker path, ports build on a system with both installed will pick up
either the one or the other quasi-randomly.  This is particularly bad if the
port and base have different versions!

xz is very stable and I don't see why users of older releases would have to
have xz 5.0.5 NOW rather than waiting for it to trickle through from -CURRENT.
