It includes:
usr/bin/mgwbz2_1.dll
and
usr/include/mingw/bzlib.h usr/lib/mingw/libbz2.a usr/lib/mingw/libbz2.dll.a
and documentation. (Note that the dll is named 'mgwbz2_1.dll' to prevent conflicts with 'cygbz2_1.dll')
The idea is for this library to be used by binaries that are part of the cygwin distribution, but which cannot use the cygwin kernel services -- such as setup.exe or cygcheck.exe, among others.
I'd bet that most of those applications would probably want to link directly to libbz2.a or use 'ld .... -Bstatic -lbz2 -Bdynamic' rather than link to dynamically, but we'll play that by ear.
