And having gzip support on by default only increases the loader without
any good reason.  We provide a feature rich environment.  The loader
isn't at the brink of its size limit like boot0 is.  I put bzip2 on par
with gzip support.  If this support bloats the loader too much, we should
disable the gzip support then, not the bzip2 support - as you know bzip2
compresses better.
