FreeBSD archivers  : bzip
A block-sorting file compressor
Use of bzip2, which is intended to replace bzip, is recommended.
The algorithms used in bzip2 are different and incompatible with
those used in bzip. To open .bz archives, you must use bzip, and
to open .bz2 archives you must use bzip2. Although bzip2 sometimes
yields slightly larger output, it is faster, more reliable, maintained,
much more widely used and is believed to be patent-free.
Julian Seward, the author of bzip, gives this warning:
This program may or may not infringe certain US patents
pertaining to arithmetic coding and to the block-sorting
transformation itself. Opinions differ as to the precise
legal status of some of the algorithms used. Nevertheless,
you should be aware that commercial use of this program
could render you liable to unfriendly legal action.

This software is licensed under the GNU GPL. As mentioned in the
DESCR file and in ports/LEGAL, it may be covered by patents. I
changed NO_CDROM to RESTRICTED.
I also added a DEPRECATED line because the DESCR file recommends
the use of bzip2 instead of bzip.

Satoshi, the loard of the ports collection spoke:
"The last argument to the "rm -f" line should be bunzip, right? :)
Also, you may want to change the "ln" to "ln -s". I remember the pkg
tools mangling hard links into separate files." So I did it ;-)

- use INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_MAN in Makefile
- add patch-ac to silence bzip when doing compression, bzip version
info now only with -v or -V
- changed comment in COMMENT. bzip compresses better than gzip, but
speed is much slower, so it's not generally better as gzip where
speed matters !
v. 1.2

Added NO_CDROM to Makefile, because of restrictive copyright.

Initial revision
v. 1.1.1.1

imported new port of bpatch 0.21, a compression program, that seems to have
some advantages over gzip concerning compression and memory consumption.
