[openbeos] Re: bzip2

It would be nice to make the Expander somewhat plugin-able so other
compression-codecs could be inserted with ease.
(the only *real* (Open)BeOS-way I think).

This way the framework is made with the OpenBeOS and the codcs could be
inserted by the distro builder ...

thanx,

Rob
