Add libbz2 to provide Bzip2 capabilities to the system.

=============================================================================
bzip2 has been around for a while and has been shipped since
4.4-RELEASE. :) When I see the constant "who put another
three KB into the kernel and thus broke release?" against the
"9KB plus for the loader versus 40KB gain for the kernel"
switching to bzip2 should give some room to breath(sp?).
PS: Should I miss the point (something like the difference
between bzip and bzip2?) feel free to drop this ignorant message
into the bit bucket.
