This will allow users to download the version that suits most their
software/bandwidth requirements. If I'm wrong, feel free to remove
dist-bzip2.
In this case, I don't see a reason to distribute dist-bzip2. lzma
compresses better and decompresses faster. If people don't have lzma,
then they can just use gz, it's not that big a deal anyway -- it's not
like texinfo is the size of gcc or anything.
As precedent, the latest coreutils was only gz+lzma. Although
admittedly the latest libtool was all three so I guess there are
precedents either way. I guess my feeling is, there are already so many
files involved in a release, I'd just as soon not add more.
