Using bzip2 for tarball

Hi to all,

What about using the bzip2 format for tarball along
with gzip and zip format ?

It will save bytes and more important will fit better
with packaging recommandations of leading Linux distro.

Thanks for your opinion !

You have my +1, though I would instead recommend using bzip2 instead
of gzip.
