Robert Knight 38bb0e8787 Add --bzip2 option to create-packages.rb to use bzip2 compression instead of deflate when creating the .zip packages 
This results in smaller packages but the package creation will be slower
and the system 'zip' tool must support bzip2 compression.

README 

This directory contains a set of tools for preparing auto-updates.

 * create-packages.rb

	Given a directory containing the set of files that make up a release,
	laid out as they are when installed and a JSON package config file,
	this tool generates a set of packages for the release
	and a file_list.xml listing all the files that make up the release.

 * config-template.json

    This is a template for the config file that specifies:

	- How to partition the files that make up an installed application
	  into packages.
	- The path of the main binary to run after the update completes
	- The name of the updater binary to download as part of the update

    This is the simplest possible package configuration, where all files for
	a release are placed in a single package.  This means that the whole
	package will need to be downloaded to install the update.
