Ditto.

I think the change you're referring to was that we added, at the request
of many users, a minimal install.  It's based on the debian "base"
category, which does not include bzip2.  The default installation is a
really basic one and it's looking like we need to change that.

Anyway, I'll try to keep in this in mind if we change something in the
future that impacts Cygwin/XFree86.  It never occurred to me that this
would be an issue.
