You can try to compile the bzip2 sources with dmc 
(http://www.digitalmars.com/download/dmcpp.html) instead of using 
coffimplib, this will produce directly a static library in OMF 
format.

As for the pragma you can remove it and add this to your JSON:

"dflags": ["bin\bz2.lib"],

for example if the lib is located in the "bin" subfolder and 
named "bz2.lib"
