It would be nice if GNU tar could be configured to support gzip compression
as well as "compress" compression.

Future versions of tar will support gzip. A *non official* patch
for tar 1.11.1 is given in the gzip 0.8.1 distribution. With this
patch, "tar -z" uses gzip, "tar -Z" uses compress.

there is a patch to gtar for gzip support in
/roebling.poly.edu:/pub/gzip-gtar-1.11.1.patch and probably is in
prep.ai.mit.edu and also in with gzip.
