nsis 1.9a questions
1.
I modified the exehead/config.h
use #define NSIS_COMPRESS_USE_ZLIB
replaced #define NSIS_COMPRESS_USE_BZIP2
and keep #define NSIS_COMPRESS_WHOLE

I got best compress ratio.

I failed to use #define NSIS_COMPRESS_BZIP2_SMALLMODE which is also wrote in exehead/config.h to repalce
#define NSIS_COMPRESS_USE_BZIP2
It seems that nsis 1.9a don't support that defination yet.
2.
I try to build nsis with the bzip source that I got from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2
but failed.
I notice the bzip source that included in nsis was changed very much,
could you tell me the main different between them.

I think NSIS_COMPRESS_BZIP2_SMALLMODE is intended to use with NSIS_COMPRESS_USE_BZIP2.

P.S.: I got better compress results with NSIS_COMPRESS_USE_BZIP2 and NSIS_COMPRESS_WHOLE ;)
