Subject: installation bug on Win32 with gcc compiler
Hi, Installing on Win32 (ActivePerl) with gcc as compiler fails because of line 56 in bzlib-src/Makefile.PL. That line passes a "/MD" flag to the C compiler, and gcc doesn't understand it. After removing this flag, installation is fine.

This is a very odd win32 configuration which nobody uses. Normally you use dmake or gmake or mingw-make with gcc, never nmake. However I've added a fix at https://github.com/rurban/Compress-Bzip2/ * 3c1c6aa : [cpan #49618] fix odd win32 nmake but gcc case for the upcoming 2.10 -- Reini Urban
