Hi Jindrich,

The speed of bzip2 is the reason I wrote pbzip2, a parallel
impelementation of pbzip2 that achieves near-linear speedup on SMP
systems.  Especially useful with dual-core CPUs coming out on the
market, you can compress and decompress 2x as fast and still get the
great compression ratios.

I just need someone to review my package so it can be included in Fedora Extras.
