in the olde days, apparantly, zcat was a link to compress. gzip came along
to replace compress, and live peacefully along side it, gzcat was a link to
gzip in much the same way.

The 0.3.2 gzip ebuild installs zcat as a duplicate binary of gzip (owning
to the hardlink probably being copied in the install)

This patch adds a gzcat link, and makes zcat a link, thus adding functionality
and saving space. Whoohoo!

patch against gzip-1.3.2.ebuild

This ebuild should be promoted to gzip-1.3.2-r1, and the file/digest and the
patch
in files must similarly have its name modified.
