[Pardus-devel] review/applications/archive/pbzip2

[Christopher David Desjardins]

Request for pbzip2 to be merged into contrib/applications/archive.

PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 <http://www.bzip.org/> block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads
and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 or newer (ie:
anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2)*.

*Thanks to cartman for the help and mstf for committing this to playground for me.

cheers,
Chris (odla)
