Huh. Last time I looked busybox tar could only use the built-in
compressors. (If you disabled buzip2 in busybox, busybox tar stopped
understanding "j".) If they've fixed that, then yes I can yank bunzip2
(and I have gunzip and xz decompression code in toybox I need to clean
up and promote as well.)

I'll take a look, thanks. (Although really, the proper fix is cleaning
up and promoting toybox's tar.c and switching off busybox's. But right
now I'm trying to clean up and promote dd.c...)
