+libXpm supports two optional features to handle compressed pixmap files.
+
+--enable-open-zfile makes libXpm recognize file names ending in .Z and .gz
+and open a pipe to the appropriate command to compress the file when writing
+and uncompress the file when reading. This is enabled by default on platforms
+other than MinGW and can be disabled by passing the --disable-open-zfile flag
+to the configure script.
+
+--enable-stat-zfile make libXpm search for a file name with .Z or .gz added
+if it can't find the file it was asked to open. It relies on the
+--enable-open-zfile feature to open the file, and is enabled by default
+when --enable-open-zfile is enabled, and can be disabled by passing the
+--disable-stat-zfile flag to the configure script.
