IIRC, some people claimed that utils/x_gzip was not smaller
than gnu/usr.bin/gzip because x_gzip required libz
(and no other installation binaries require libz),
but -current gnu/usr.bin/gzip requires libbz2 so
I don't know if it's still true.

If bzip2 support will also be added to usr.bin/gzip, it might be
worth to add -DSMALL option for x_gzip to disable bzip2.
(BTW, is it worth to disable usage() and getopt_long() etc?)
