Build gzip from sources. One of the products is 'gzexe' which compresses
an executable, straps on a header script to uncompress it in /tmp, and runs
it. It's good for those programs that you don't often use, but like to have
online just in case.
I don't know if it is in the SLS package, but it is in the source dist.
