Both are the same from a LyX POV, since LyX does not care at all about
extensions.

bz2 gives better compression on average (at a higher CPU cost), so it might
be useful. Anyway, this is not essential: If somebody finds the time to
write a configure test for the bzip2 lib and enables bzip2 compression if
it is found: Fine, but the current state is also OK.
