Actually, there's also a semi-official way of getting this at configure time, like this: ac_cv_path_GZIP_PROG=3D'' ./nt/msysconfig.sh ... But this is not really a user-level feature, because to find out abou= t it, you need to know that gzip is being looked for by using the AC_PATH_PROG Autoconf macro, i.e. you need to look into configure.ac and then read the Autoconf manual, hardly something users are expecte= d to do.
