Compiling libbzip2.dylib on Panther

Is a pain :)
The default Makefile does not allow you to generate a shared library.
Edit the main Makefile, add a -fPIC to the compiler flags, and link like this.

libtool -dynamic -compatibility_version 1.0.0 -o libbz2.dylib blocksort.o huffman.o crctable.o randtable.o compress.o decompress.o bzlib.o -lc

Copy that in /usr/lib and create the right symlink.
Then you'll be able to uncompress / compress with bzip2 (using python 2.4 binaries that does not ship this shared library)
