release, right now /usr/doc/<package>-<version> documentation is supported in
the binary tar.gz, support for the /usr/doc/cygwin directory cygwin-specific
documentation) will be added soon

Building requires gcc-2.95.2-2 and binutils-20000722-1 or later. A fix for
libcygwin.a is also needed!
Please refer to http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg00256.html
NOTES:
o dll and -a version of libbz2
o cygwin-specific doc /usr/doc/Cygwin/bzip2-1.0.1-3.README missing at this point
(will soon be there)
o generic docs in /usr/doc/bzip2-1.0.1/*
o source archive distributed as original source and patch-file; standard src-tar
file will follow
o cygwin-specific README and PATCH are soon stored in the source archive, under
<top>/CYGWIN-PATCHES/* (although the patch has already been applied to the
archive itself).
MAINTAINER STATUS:
I will maintain the package
PACKAGING STATUS:
When tested this package should go to the latest directory
NEVERENDINGTHANKS STATUS:
1.000.0000+ thanks go directly to Charles Wilson who has redesigned my ugly
dll-version and made a shing star out of it!
Without his work on dll'izing apps this all would never have happened!
Comments and test reports welcome!
