Something like that, yes, but it's not clear that's exactly
right, from the gzip point of view. There are many scripts:
why pick just those four? Here's the complete list:
gunzip zcat zdiff zfgrep zgrep zmore
gzexe uncompress zcmp zegrep zforce zless znew
Perhaps the operand of --enable-scripts should list just
the scripts wanted (or conversely, the operand of --disable-scripts
should list just those scripts not wanted). Or it could give
a shell pattern for the script names. (I'm just thinking out
loud here. I haven't thought through how this would interact
with --program-transform-name.)
More generally, why does the installer care which programs
are scripts and which are not? So perhaps the option should
be --enable-programs instead of --enable-scripts.
