I'm ready to make a new release, so here's a pre-release snapshot.
Please build and test wherever you can.
Thank you!

Here's the NEWS-to-be:
** Bug fixes
When decompressing data in 'pack' format, gzip no longer mishandles
leading zeros in the end-of-block code. [bug introduced in gzip-1.6]
When converting timestamps to gzip file format (32-bit unsigned) or
to time_t format (system-dependent), gzip now ignores out-of-range
values instead of shoehorning them into the destination format,
sometimes with undefined behavior. This affects timestamps before
1970 and after 2106, and timestamps after 2038 on platforms with
32-bit signed time_t. [bug present since the beginning]
Support for VMS and Amiga has been removed. It was not working anyway,
and it reportedly caused file name glitches on MS-Windowsish platforms.
