- I don't think that the version of crypt.el in the elisp-archive works based on
- extensions but rather magic numbers. Also the ".z" certainly does not appear
- in the code nor does any reference to `pack'. Anyway I posted a version that
- works with gzip based on gzip's magic number. Oh, and it took about 20-30
- minutes of hacking but I'm slow :)
