If the point is to add more C code just to add more C code just because,
then I don't really see the point.  Are we using bz2/yz decompression in
any performance-critical paths?  Are we compressing even anything in a
performance-critical path?

C code is more segfaulty than Lisp code, so unless we have a good use
case for the C code, I think we should avoid adding more.
