>Description:
	when attempting to compress already-compressed files,
	(strictly speaking, files with one of the particular suffixes)
	our gzip(1) behaves differently from GNU's.  see below.
>How-To-Repeat:
	% touch a.gz b.bz2 c.Z
	% gzip a.gz b.bz2 c.Z

	and see the GNU version warns and skips files
	while ours compresses them.
