Hello Paul,

I suspect it's better to approach any such replacement conservatively,
where the default is to do things as they were done before.
I see a couple ways to achieve this:
a) Building always the "gzscripts" (gzcat, gzcmp, gzdiff, gzgrep), and
adding to configure the option "--enable-zscripts=no" to disable
building of the "zscripts" (zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep). (The "gzscripts"
should have to be built always because the Standards do not allow using
the "--enable" option to substitute one useful behavior for another
useful behavior).
b) Adding to configure the option "--with-zutils", which would instruct
gzip to build the "gzscripts" instead of the "zscripts". (I am not sure
if this is an appropiate use for the "--with" option).
Best regards,
Antonio.
