Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.12-9
Severity: normal
File: /bin/zdiff

I tried running zdiff on two gzipped xml files, like:
zdiff Accounts.xac Accounts.xac.gnucash.20110520085906.gnucash

It reported that the two binary files differed, so I ran zdiff -a, which spewed 
binary data.

I then symlinked xxx.gz to xxx and ran:
zdiff Accounts.xac.gz Accounts.xac.gnucash.20110520085906.gnucash.gz

That worked fine.

Please make zdiff work with gzipped files that don't have the .gz extension.

Thanks,
Jayen
