Something like that, yes, but it's not clear that's exactly right, from the gzip point of view. There are many scripts: why pick just those four? Here's the complete list: gunzip zcat zdiff zfgrep zgrep zmore gzexe uncompress zcmp zegrep zforce zless znew Perhaps the operand of --enable-scripts should list just the scripts wanted (or conversely, the operand of --disable-scripts should list just those scripts not wanted). Or it could give a shell pattern for the script names. (I'm just thinking out loud here. I haven't thought through how this would interact with --program-transform-name.) More generally, why does the installer care which programs are scripts and which are not? So perhaps the option should be --enable-programs instead of --enable-scripts.
