Update to version 0.9.5c. This fixes the bug compressing /usr/ports/textproc/dsssl-docbook-modular/pkg/PLIST reported by John Milford <jwm@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU>.3c0cce710a
Revert back to version 0.9.0c.

Bzip2 author has been notified. Submitted by: John Milford <jwm@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU>4de5ef2070

Add patch to respect CC and CFLAGS.55a087f7c3
Import bzip2 port. bzip2 is a block-sorting compressor with better compression than gzip. The author believes that this program uses only patent-free algorithms. The generated files are not compatible to bzip-compressed files.8c43e0b76f
