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"
