As CGF said, the latest version won't exec the gzip program, so never
mind.

Ok, I see.  These packages are most likely performing the same postinstall
directory renaming trick as the one I complained about in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00334.html>.  As before,
suggestions on how to deal with this are welcome.  Stipe?

All of the above should be reported as "OK" by the latest version.  I'll
add some more checking, though.
