what is bzimage?

["David S. Zelinsky" <zelinsky@us.net>]

I went to build a custom kernel with make-kpkg, and noticed the option
to build a `zimage' kernel, instead of `bzimage' kernel ("the default").
But I can't find any documentation anywhere of what the difference is
between these two.  I've looked in the Kernel-HOWTO, and in all the
documentation in /usr/src/linux.

So, can someone explain what `bzimage' is, and why I might or might not
want it?  Thanks.
