Description: inefficient compression of doco html files
Details:
In the bzip2 tarballs, the doco HTML files are
first compressed with gzip.
This is inefficient. It would be better to make
the first compression a bzip2. A subsequent hit
with bzip2 cannot undo the less dense compression
attained with gzip.
It would be better still not to first compress; the
subsequent hit with bzip2 would be ample.
