That's already doable when building gzip; you can use './configure
--program-prefix'. Run './configure --help' for more, or see the file
INSTALL.
Hello, I noticed, not for the first time that zcat, zgrep and rest of the
utils are ambiguously named. Neither gzip nor .gz does not begin with
'z'. All other compressors call their utils by the name of extension,
like xzcat, lzcat, zstdgrep and so on. This is more logical and less confusing.
