Gzip 1.8-1
------------------------------------------
GNU Gzip is a popular data compression program originally written by
Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the
decompression part. It was developed as a replacement for compress
because of Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm at the
time. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus.

Build instructions:
unpack gzip-1.8-1-src.tar.xz
if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
unpacked under /usr/src automatically
cd /usr/src
cygport gzip.cygport all
This will create:
/usr/src/gzip-1.8-1.tar.xz
/usr/src/gzip-1.8-1-src.tar.xz
/usr/src/gzip-debuginfo/gzip-debuginfo-1.8-1.tar.xz
Or use 'cygport gzip.cygport prep' to get a patched source directory
To find out the files included in the binary distribution, you can use
"cygcheck -l gzip", or browse the listing for the appropriate
version at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>.
