bzip library

[old_death]

Hey, I've seen that you have updated the bzip2 library that is included in the Shareaza library. As I didn't know what bzip actually was, I searched... and found.

However, the Wikipedia article names a second implementation of bzip2 called pbzip2, which makes use of multi-threading while bzip2 does not. This means that depending on where we do use bzip2 (which I don't know), users of multi-core CPUs might (highly?) profit from using pbzip2 instead of bzip2.

bz2 is currently only used in DC++, and even there primarily in rare/small collection files.

bzlib was the first code addition in preparation for DC++, but consider it an idle fringe use case.

Ah, OK. So no problem there... I just thought I should leave a note in case this was heavily used, because it could have been a major improvement...
