* Implemented internal gzip support through the zlib library. It's much
faster than executing gzip and it works better. Many small files that
weren't properly handled now are. I've tested this with over 400 random

I won't try to implement something to create a compiled version of
/etc/magic as: 1) This fle is empty by default and will have only a few
manually added entries, so there wouldn't be any speed gain; 2) It will
add complexity and it wouldn't be trivial.
