- 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.
initial import of pigz 2.1.6 sources.
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.
