My patch to add transparent decompression, as per the TODO list, at:
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6107
builds correctly against current CVS. Could someone review it? (Tony, you
encouraged me to work on my patches six weeks ago, and then I think we were
side-tracked by discussion of the build system). I'm keen to get this patch
and a similar one to allow dynamic loading of PCRE into grep.
Note that the above patch is for code only; I'll write a documentation patch
as soon as it's accepted. See the tracker for details, but basically this
patch adds an --uncompress switch which uses libz to do transparent
decompression.
