It is a non-gpl'ed "unzip" which will allow execution of a.out files which
have been sent through "gzip -9".  The idea being saved disk-space.

Just now this code has quality rating:  "working prototype".

To compress a file to be used with this, do it exactly this way:

gzip -9 -v < /bin/FOO > /tmp/FOO
remember to chmod /tmp/FOO as needed.

DON'T compress all of you binaries right away !  There are several things
which you should consider first:

1. Using compressed binaries, you use >MUCH< more VM, and thus swap-space.

2. It is slow.

3. It might crash your machine.

Apart from that, I welcome comments...
