Summary:                    ExternalProject doesn’t handle .tar.xz
Description: 
ExternalProject doesn’t handle .tar.xz archives.

Cmake however knows how to extract .tar.xz archives. So ExternalProject should
pass arguments to cmake.

Steps to Reproduce: 
ExternalProject_Add(libgnutls
    URL http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-3.1.1.tar.xz
    ...
)

Additional Information: 
Some external projects (like gnutls) do not provide tar.gz or tar.bz2 archives
any more.
