After deleting gzip.vim and performing a copy update from
the ftp site, the gzip.vim downloaded is older. It will not
use the new shellescape function. It has this logic:
if v:version > 700 || (v:version == 700 && has('patch999'))
return shellescape(a:name)
endif
The patched version on the CVS, has the same code but the
has() has:
has('patch111'))
so it will use the new function.
