The current PCBuild/readme.txt directs people to http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2 to get the 1.0.2 version of libbz2. The RedHat link redirects to http://www.bzip.org, which shows that 1.0.3 was released in February 2005. I suggest that Python 2.5 should move up to 1.0.3, and that readme.txt should point to bzip.org instead of redhat.com. I'll make & submit a patch if that would help.

There is no need to submit a patch. I had planned to update it myself for some time now. I also want to update versions of various other libraries (Tcl and bsddb in particular). On bzip2, I wonder whether 2.4 should also update to the newer library; on bsddb, I wonder what version to update to.
