:> How much smaller would all the ports be if we bzip2'ed them ?
:
:The 3.1 CDROM set had 946M of packages. If these had been bzip2'ed, it
:would have taken 843M.
:
:(The difference in GimpUserManual-PS-1.0.0 is 8M alone)

I, for one, don't see much point in saving 100MB out of a 950MB
archive. If that is the only benefit bzip2 gives us, I'll stick
with gzip and avoid yet another round of compatibility/release issues
rearing their ugly head.
