>Description:
usr.bin/gzip as of 20040830 does not seem to record the compression
level (or it records it in a different location to GNU gzip such that
file(1) doesn't see it).

>How-To-Repeat:
% touch blah
% /usr/pkg/bin/gzip -9 blah           (GNU gzip)
% file blah.gz
blah.gz: gzip compressed data, was "blah", from Unix, max compression

% touch blah
% /usr/bin/gzip -9 blah
% file blah.gz
blah.gz: gzip compressed data, was "blah", from Unix
