I have put together a quick interface to the bzip2 compression system which
- for a couple of days or so - has a temporary home at:

  http://yi.com/home/TrattLaurence/pybzlib.tar

I'm putting this out to see if there's any interest in developing it
further. At the moment, the module has two methods: 'compress' &
'decompress'.

It's not been tested much, but the main parts seem to work. As I said, I am
interested to know if there is a demand for this, so comments are
appreciated.
