I just rewrote bunzip2 for busybox in about 500 lines of C (and a good chunk

redoing the bunzip-the-kernel patch with my new bunzip code, but I can't find
the patch. Anybody got a URL to it?
The most recent one I could find was kerneltrap's 404-error link to
http://chrissicool.piranho.com/patch-2.4.x-bzip2-i386
This came up on the list a while back. IIRC the conclusion was that
runtime memory usage and speed, and not so significant compression
improvement over gzip.
