It's a gzip 1.3. It uses an autoconf 2.13 configure script but its
own config.site, provided below, comments stripped:

#! /bin/sh
PATH="$srcdir/djgpp;$PATH"
PATH_SEPARATOR=:
PATH_EXPAND=y
export TEST_FINDS_EXE=y
test "x$prefix" = xNONE && prefix='/dev/env/DJDIR'

CONFIG_SHELL=${CONFIG_SHELL='sh'}

ac_cv_path_EMACS=${EMACS='/dev/env/DJDIR/gnu/emacs/bin/emacs'}
GZIP=${GZIP='/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/gzip'}
INSTALL=${INSTALL='/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/ginstall -c'}
RANLIB=${RANLIB='ranlib'}
NM=${NM='nm'}
LD=${LD='ld'}
GMSGFMT=${GMSGFMT='/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/msgfmt'}
MSGFMT=${MSGFMT='/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/msgfmt'}
XGETTEXT=${XGETTEXT='/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/xgettext'}
ac_cv_prog_LN_S='cp -pf'

When I run pristine configure script, I get this:
C:\djgpp\gnu\gzip-1.3>djgpp\config
Configuring GNU Gzip for DJGPP v2.x...
Updating configuration scripts...
No USERNAME and no USER found in the environment, using default values

checking for working makeinfo... found
configure: error: can not run ./config.sub
./configure script exited abnormally!

If I adjust CONFIG_SHELL definition to /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/sh.exe,
I get this instead:

Configuring GNU Gzip for DJGPP v2.x...
Updating configuration scripts...
No USERNAME and no USER found in the environment, using default values
Running the ./configure script...

configure: error: can not run ./config.sub
./configure script exited abnormally!

Note that this case is far from perfect too. Obviously I can
run config.sub, and I have aclocal with automake installed.
The first line of them says #!perl. If I give full path instead,
configure script detects them too - path search and extensions
again?

All in all, we have a bunch of problems.
