    The Windows build is using xz-5.2.2, it was released on 2015-09-29.
    xz-5.2.5 was released recently, maybe we can update this library.

    When preparing cpython-source-deps, don't forget to copy xz-5.2.5\windows\vs2019\config.h to xz-5.2.5\windows\ folder.

    \vs2019\config.h and \vs2017\config.h are the same, except for the comment on the first line.

    I tested xz-5.2.5 on my local machine, it passed test_lzma.py.

    this seem useful, but apparently something more than what is in that PR needs to be done for it to work.
