* gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in: New files.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them. (bin_SCRIPTS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdgrep, zfgrep. (.in): Use GZIP_BINDIR as the location of gzip binaries, if it is set. (check-local): Use GZIP_BINDIR. (install-exec-hook, remove-installed-links): Make 'uncompress' an alias for gunzip. * gzexe.1: At least one arg is required. Don't give cat as an example, since gzexe refuses to compress cat due to a bootstrapping issue. List more utilities in this category. * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in: Report our name in usage. * gzexe.in: Don't compress bash. Don't use rmdir, so it's OK to compress rmdir. * gzip.c: Now requires that you compile with -DGNU_STANDARD=0 to get non GNU-standard behavior. We now build with GNU-standard behavior by default, so that programs do not depend on the names of their executables. * zdiff.in: Don't depend on the name of the executable, as per GNU standard. Instead, rely on an internal --__cmp option. Support ' in options. Check for failures in subsidiary gzip invocations. * zgrep.1: Clarify compression issues. * zgrep.in: Don't assume POSIX-style case syntax. Remove unused var have_optarg. * zless.1: zless sets LESSMETACHARS now.

.I Zless
is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
