Here you go (installed gpg4win v1.1.0):

C:\Programme\GnuPG>gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.7
(...)
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, RSA-E, RSA-S, ELG-E, DSA
Cipher: 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, AES, AES192, AES256, TWOFISH
Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224
Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2

Interestingly, though, my keys do not indicate recipient's 
preference/support for BZIP2. I don't remember whether this was an 
intentional decision by me at the time when I created/exported the key 
or whether it was default then...
Therefore, at least for me, the change doesn't seem to break anything. I 
am not sure whether other people would have to re-publish their keys.

cu, Sven
