Well you can have it both ways if you download this file:
http://www.chez.com/winterminator/compil/bzip2.zip

It contains the two files that Werner mentioned.
Put libbz2.a in the lib folder and bzlib.h in include. You'll have to change a
line in bzlib.h

- #if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__MINGW32__)
+ #if defined(_WIN32) && 0
  #   include <windows.h>
  #   ifdef small

Then to include bzip2 capability in gpg.exe, in configure add the line

  ## --------------------- ##
  ## M4sh Initialization.  ##
  ## --------------------- ##
+ LDFLAGS='-static'

If you leave out this change to configure, gpg builds with bzip2 capability
via the bzip2.dll.

Salut

Maxine
