The "install-module" script used to add things to ftp.gnome.org takes
a .tar.gz archive, puts it in the right place, and creates a matching
bzip2 archive.

It seems that the bzip2 on the Gnome server produced a slightly
different output compared to the one used to produce the .tar.bz2 file
on gstreamer.freedesktop.org.

If you look, the MD5 sums of the .tar.gz files on the two machines are
identical.  So you can use those if you prefer not to trust the .bz2
versions.
