Hi John,

Ever since the 1.3.x series started I have been native compiling my
Windows versions, but since the change in the Linux cross-compiling
environment it is much simpler to cross compile from Linux - except for
this bzip2 issue.

The official Windows installer release has bzip2 capabability....so how
the heck does Werner do it?

Regards

Tenui
