lzma support in `stable' has potential issues

[Tim Kientzle]

It would be nice if "cd /usr/src/lib/liblzma && make && make install"
just worked on an existing system that didn't already have
/usr/include/lzma, but I can't find anything in the
standard BSD makefiles to support this.

I think you can use:
   make hierarchy
to ensure that all the directories are present before
trying to build anything else.  (This is one of the
first steps in the "installworld" target.)

As for lzmainfo, I think the attached patch fixes
it so that it pulls the lzma headers from the source
tree and not the installed system.  A similar change
is probably appropriate for the other lzma and xz tools.
