???   Sure would like to have it!  I use crypt++ and Dave Gillespie's info

One ugly way around it I tried is to sym-link gzip to uncompress and
zcat, and to rename the gzipped info-files with a capital Z extension.
One should be able to modify info.el to uncompress (or gunzip) files 
with a .z or .zip extension, but who has the time ...
I'm sure the experts will post a solution in a few days.
