           Summary: The bzip2 python stuff is really ugly. Maybe parts
                    should be redone in C.

There are a couple of files of low level awful bzip2 stuff in python we need
for beeing to seek around and find block boundaries in ginormous files.  The
python code is ewwww gross. We would likely be better off hacking up the bzip2
library and using that instead of the current python interface to the standard
bzip2 library.  Question is how worth it is it to invest more time into that. 
Low priority for now.
