Comment (by hinder):

 I propose to change this error into a warning that the compression
 libraries won't be detected automatically, and to then skip these checks.
 This way, the user will still be able to add the required libraries
 manually using variables in the optionlist.  This should fix the inability
 to build the ET on Fedora, Cent OS, Red Hat and Scientific Linux, since we
 can add the required libraries to fedora.cfg.  I would then add Roland's
 patch, which looks for both filenames, and should allow the auto-detection
 to work. I am testing this now.
