An alternative to Werner's suggestion which avoids rebuilding bzip2 is to
use the bzip2-1.0.2-3-bin.zip and bzip2-1.0.2-3-lib.zip files that you used
for MinGW on Windows. Decompress them in the
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc folder, then run autogen.sh

This will give you bzip2 capability via a bzip2.dll as in a native Windows
build.
