In -current, build.sh fails due to missing zless/zless.1. The attached
patch brings external/zlib/pigz/bin/pigz/Makefile in sync with
usr.bin/gzip/Makefile, which fixes the build.
--
When decompressing with -N or -NT, strip any path from header name.
This uses the path of the compressed file combined with the name
from the header as the name of the decompressed output file. Any
path information in the header name is stripped. This avoids a
possible vulnerability where absolute or descending paths are put
in the gzip header.
--
Push -Wno-array-bounds down to the cases that depend on it.
Selectively disable warnings for 3rd party software or non-trivial
issues to be reviewed later to get clang -Werror to build most of the
tree.
- kill MKPIGZ.
- add MKPIGZGZIP. if it is "no", then only install pigz as pigz. if it is
not "no", don't install mrgzip, install pigz as gzip.
in all cases, the z* scripts.
i don't like the name MKPIGZGZIP so if anyone has a better name, feel free
to replace it. i don't care enough since killing the ugly name is just
more incentive to get pigz doing .bz2, .Z and .z.

from http://www.zlib.net/pigz/:
"""
pigz, which stands for parallel implementation of gzip, is a fully functional replacement for gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to the
hilt when compressing data. pigz was written by Mark Adler, and uses the zlib and pthread libraries.
How is it pronounced?
I'm glad you asked. It is pronounced "pig-zee". It is not pronounced like the plural of pig.
"""
once i am done adding bz2 support to pigz, i plan to obsolete my usr.bin/gzip.
