gzip: drop mentions of Amiga, VMS
These platforms were not supported anyway, and their code was suffering from bitrot. This patch may also fix some file name glitches on MS-Windowsish platforms. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add dosname. * gzip.c: Include dosname.h. (shorten_name, treat_dir): Use last_component rather than looking at path separators by hand. * tailor.h: Remove sections on porting to VMS and to Amiga, since dosname.h doesn't support these platforms anyway. (PATH_SEP2, PATH_SEP3, STDC_HEADERS, SUFFIX_SEP, RECORD_IO) (HAVE_CHOWN, HAVE_LSTAT, HAVE_SYS_DIR_H, direct): Remove. All uses removed. Many uses replaced by calls to ISSLASH and/or last_component.
