Agreed, then it'd be useful. I also noticed a message Jordan sent through the
list oneday mentioning the possible use of Bzip2 for a new package structure.
I do believe that the system should have bzip in it, but because it's being
used by freebsd internals itself, not because a person may use it at one point.
Make gzip the port in 5.0, and bzip the root compressor... :)
