Re: 'gzip -d' instead of 'gunzip'

[Lave <lave.wang.w@gmail.com>]

I used dired-compress-file-suffixes before. But this variable is
created after once compressing or uncompressing. If I add it in
.emacs, it will get an error when start emacs.

How can I do except add it into dired-aux.el as I did before?

Could anyone help?
