+\r
+Unfortunately I can't think of a simple change to make gzipped dump and\r
+restore optional; somewhat ironically we actually need the later zlib\r
+for dumping uncompressed backups. This is clearly not a feature we want\r
+to take away. I guess it would be possible to write a compat shim on\r
+top of zlib that implemented the passthrough that we need. Tomi Ollila,\r
+who runs notmuch on various old systems, might a have a comment about\r
+that. Meanwhile, unlike libc, it should be possible to compile a newer \r
+zlib.\r
