Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

longDescription =
''gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by
Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the
decompression part.
We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of
the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by
compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress,
and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip
is just a bonus.
