I've checked this in, too, with some changes. The version of this file
in CVS had my fix to convert slashes to backslashes so your patch didn't
cleanly apply. I also allocated a static buffer and only calculated the
DOS pathname for gzip.exe once. Finally, I changed all of the
formatting to GNU-style.
Thanks for this increased functionality. I used this to update my own
installation. It looks like I had somehow damaged my installation a
while ago. Some files were missing, some package lists were missing.
Who knew?
