It IMO makes sense to compress large and rarely viewed doc files like

With current cygport, the following results in ChangeLog and

src_install()
{
...
dodoc ChangeLog
gzip -9 -n "${D}/usr/share/doc/${PN}/ChangeLog"
}
Uh, I don't quite see how this patch will change the behavior of this
fragment.
Even more confusing, why isn't this already doing what you want? Unless
you specify -k/--keep to gzip, the input file is removed, right?
The attached patch fixes this and also adds some missing documentation.
I applied the documentation change as that is obviously needed.
