I don't think that the version of crypt.el in the elisp-archive works based on extensions but rather magic numbers. Also the ".z" certainly does not appear in the code nor does any reference to `pack'. Anyway I posted a version that works with gzip based on gzip's magic number. Oh, and it took about 20-30 minutes of hacking but I'm slow :)
