Then please add a comment explaining it.  Otherwise someone like me
might be tempted to replace the gzip|tar with "tar -z" on the premise
that it might be more efficient or doesn't require gzip to be in $PATH
or something.


        Stefan "who wonders where we can find a tar that doesn't
                support -z nowadays (ancient Unix? home router?), so
                maybe the comment should include some info about the
                particular circumstance where "tar -z" doesn't exist"
