Public bug reported:
In /bin there's a lot of shell scripts and two duplicate gzips. At the
very least we can make gunzip and zcat symlinks; although a few of the
other duplicate scripts can be symlinked together too:
-rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 57188 2006-06-22 05:17 /bin/gunzip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4895 2006-06-22 05:17 /bin/gzexe

Here are the sha1sums (grouped) with symlinks that can be made noted:

And space usage:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/x$ du -sh gzip gzip.orig
80K gzip
212K gzip.orig
So we save 132K. Every little bit helps.
