Compress::Bzip2 needs work

Any suggestions on this?

I took Compress::Bzip2 and did a bit more than just putting BZ2_ in
front of the appropriate functions (so it would compile with bzlib 1.0.2).

It now has similar functionality to Compress::Zlib, with bzopen, bzread,
bzwrite, bzclose, bzflush, stream io, etc etc.  This was a trick, since
bzlib doesn't have equivalents that work (properly) so I had to use the
low level interface.

It's mostly perl xs code.  I also put in a set of about 40 test scripts
in the cpan style to test everything out.  The test suite passes on
intel linux (32bit), hpux pa-risc 2.0w (64bit), hpux itanium 64 bit.

I added a set of cover functions, so that it can masquerade as
Compress:Zlib (ie, gzread, gzwrite, etc etc).  Programs that work with
Compress::Zlib for the most part need no changes to use (my)
Compress::Bzip2.

However, I am not the owner of Compress::Bzip2 on the PAUSE server.
From previous emails, I understand the original author is no longer
interested in maintaining it, and the current maintainer isn't
interested in doing more than patching it to work with bzlib 1.0.2.

So, I don't either of them would mind if I took it over.  However, I
can't raise them by email.

I can either
1. change the name slightly and re-upload it.
or
2. get somebody with admin to make me the new owner.

I don't like 1. cause it will lead to confusion.  It is the only one I
can do on my own though.
