Default Upgrade Slackware tgz/txt to tbz2/txt

I sure wish if in a future Slackware, the default Slackware
archive format were upgraded to tbz2 from the current tgz.

Package content has grown so much, that most stuff I see in
the Linux community is being repackaged using bzip2, rather
than the old gzip.

Sure save a lot of space grief if the pkgtool utilities were
modified to support both formats.

just a wish
TonyB
