Yeah, I went back and forth on what the default should be here.
It's only most packages, since it relies on someone remembering to
change the compressions in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, which sometimes hasn't
happened.
Changing the default changes the meaning of old .cygport files in a way
that probably breaks them.
