BZIP2 in 1.4.8

I have a Correspondent who has built 1.4.8 from the tar.gz for use on
Ubuntu.  For some reason the Build, even after passing all 27 tests
does not list BZIP2 as an available for of compression.    :-\     Since
the PK is distributed with BZIP2 in the Preference string this has
resulted in receiving messages which cannot be decrypted.    :(

The tar ball was downloaded from the gnu.org Site and the checksum
verified.

I have been building from the SVN commits and BZIP2 is available but I
was wondering if it had been dropped for some reason in the 'Official
Release'?

If BZIP2 has been omitted from the Release then there are a lot of
folks who have this compression method listed in their Keys and even
more who have it set in their 'personal-compress-preferences' string.

I see the Options for --bzip2-compress-level n &
- --bzip2-decompress-lowmem in the 1.4.8 Manual.  How & when are they
supposed to be utilized to compensate for the lack of BZIP2?

Which file should I advise Her to add to Her Build?

It is good to see the Server back Online again. :-D
