Will switching from gzip to bzip2 do bad things to the existing cpool? After implementing my first BackupPC system, it's evident that I have plenty of CPU to spare and the compression benefits of bzip2 would be nice, but existing backups should be retained. 

Also, will the BackupPC_zcat utility still function for bzip2 compressed files? I'm unsure if it would or if it is akin to the UNIX utilities where you need zcat and bzcat, and don't have a good way of testing it at this time.
