This will allow users to download the version that suits most their
    software/bandwidth requirements. If I'm wrong, feel free to remove
    dist-bzip2.

In this case, I don't see a reason to distribute dist-bzip2.  lzma
compresses better and decompresses faster.  If people don't have lzma,
then they can just use gz, it's not that big a deal anyway -- it's not
like texinfo is the size of gcc or anything.

As precedent, the latest coreutils was only gz+lzma.  Although
admittedly the latest libtool was all three so I guess there are
precedents either way.  I guess my feeling is, there are already so many
files involved in a release, I'd just as soon not add more.
