Comment:

 Shawn, interested in a quick/interesting C hacking task?
 Fedora adds this patch to gzip-1.5:
 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gzip.git/tree/gzip-1.3.13-rsync.patch?h=f18

 But it is not working in the F18 version. It doesn't produce any output,
 just prints: Try 'gzip --help' for more information.

 It worked in F17, which had gzip-1.4.
