    I'm sponsoring this case for John Sonnenschein. The requested
    release binding is minor. The man page has been posted in the
    materials directory.

    2.0 Project Summary
      2.1 Project Description

      bzip2 is a free and open source block sorting lossless data
      compression algorithm with comparatively high compression
      efficiency.

      pbzip2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 algorithm using
      pthreads written in C++ by Jeff Gilchrist that retains file
      compatibility with the common bzip2(1) application included in
      Solaris and many other operating systems

Which C++ runtime does pbzip2 depend on?  Are we assured that this
runtime will be installed whenever pbzip2 is?
