Hi,

As part of the effort of unifying kernel zlib versions, we would like to
propose that the gzip'ed a.out support at:

	https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21099

The support was disabled by default in 1999 (FreeBSD 3.0) when we moved
to ELF world.  This proposed change will not affect user's ability to
run regular a.out binaries.

Cheers,
