Hi,

Here is a patchset that replaces the GNU gzip with NetBSD's gzip
implementation, which uses zlib to do actual compress/decompress operation:

Go to your src/usr.bin and execute the following shar archive:

http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/for_review/bsd_gzip/shar-bsd-gzip-20061009

Then, go to src/ and apply the following patch:

http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/for_review/bsd_gzip/patch-remove-gnu-gzip-01

Currently this gzip implementation should work as a drop-in replacement
for GNU gzip.  I am still working on some style issues here, etc., so
the current focus is functional test.

Any sort of comments are welcome.

Cheers,
