easier way for deltaiso users to deal with the xz compression change

Previously I posted instructions for temporarily upgrading the xz
compression on a F14 box to be able to work with deltaisos for F15 and
later:

Michael Young's method at

is much nicer, since not only is it simpler (at least if you've used
rpmbuild a little), but once you create the executable, you can just use
it on your existing system without changing packages. I've posted
executables at

http://robatino.fedorapeople.org/deltaiso_executables/

so you can either use these, or roll your own. See the README concerning
the version (f14 vs. f15). Most people will need the f15 version. The
f14 versions are only for someone running F15 or later and needing to
use a diso for F14 or below, which is uncommon.

Of course, if you are using F14 or below and need to use a diso for F14
or below, or using F15 or above and need to use a diso for F15 or above,
then just use the deltaiso package from the Fedora repos.
