I don't have anything against this, but please note that this is
incomplete: for the bzip2 support to work with 8+3 file names, you
have to provide a solution for the .info-NN file names (DOS uses .iNN
or .NN instead). The gzip support solves this with the "z" suffix, so
that .iNz and .NNz files can be used. What can be used for bzip2
here?
I didn't find a good solution at the time, and since bzip2 is not too
popular in the DOS/Windows world, I didn't care to support bzip2 on
8+3 filesystems.
