My fault. We have regressions tests, yes. But quite frankly, we can do that
without including this files. The "regression" test doesn't only test for
working compression / decompression, but for an identical result. That's
IMO not a good thing when you consider that a different implementation
of libbz2 (e.g. tuned) can create different output. For example, 7zip
advertises up to 3% better compression.
