If the info files are compressed with gzip (using the Windows binary
from http://www.gzip.org), when visited from Info they still have
spurious ^M.

As an aside, when I use MSYS' gzip I get an error in decompressing:

  Error while executing "gzip -c -q -d < c:/emacs/info/efaq.gz"
  gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

Could be related to CRLF issues in the redirection (but this is a gzip
problem, not Emacs', of course).
