'sharutils' takes it for granted that compress is available.
Please, consider to check for it using autoconf macros and adjust the
programs accordingly. On some platforms --help is misleading (try
'shar --help | grep compress').
For unshar purposes consider to provide a simple shell script
("compress") that calls "gunzip" when with the switch "-d"; when called
without a switch, tell the user to go for "gzip" or "bzip2" for zipping.
