When the port compressed with bzip2 is installed, the extraction mechanism is
downloaded and installed on the fly. Thats more than enough.
Personally, I'd like to see less stuff in the system source for smaller
installs and lower compile time leaving it up to me to customize the individual
stuff thats installed. Unless bzip is used by > 99.9% of the FreeBSD
installs, I'm willing to let it 'auto-install itself'.
