I see Bruce dug up http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/991. Is this the right route to go, or do we need a more sophisticated solution?
It might be nice to build something on libbzip2 -- It looks like the license is right, it's got good compression qualities, supports 64 bit, and it getting pretty widely used.
