When you do that please make sure the small file-pattern patch to
ExternalProject.cmake given at
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14318 gets into CMake so
that that your fix to allow unpacking of *.tar.xz tarballs on MSYS can
be used via ExternalProject_Add.  The file-pattern patch also allows
unpacking of *.tar.xz tarballs on Unix via ExternalProject_Add.
