The external gzip support in IO::Zlib is all Jarkko's work and
nothing to do with me I'm afraid. The external.t test script does
have this comment at the top however:

# Test this only iff we have an executable /usr/bin/gzip
# AND we have /usr/bin in our PATH
# AND we have a useable /usr/bin directory.
# This limits the testing to UNIX-like
# systems but that should be enough.

That is a much stronger constraint than the IO::Zlib module seems to
make however, as that just tries to run gzip as a command using open.
