[Bug: 21.4.20] xemacs can't handle lzma-compressed info files

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
On the latest version of the Mandriva linux distribution, some of the
info files are compressed using lzma (others are compressed using
bzip2, and I don't know how they chose to do this).
This causes failures when reading some info files on that
distribution. One example is make.info.lzma.
I was able to fix this problem by adding the following two clauses to
Info-suffix-list. I believe that this would be a reasonable patch to
apply to info.el. Add these two associations:
(".lzma" . "unlzma --stdout %s") and (".info.lzma" . "unlzma --stdout %s")
Hope that helps!
