ok little update...

in we_fl_unix.c I took this section starting at line 3559:

      /* If the file is gzipped strip the .gz ending. */
      if((k > 2) && (strcmp(df->name[j] + k - 2, ".gz") == 0))
      {
        k -= 3;
        *(df->name[j] + k + 1) = '\0';
      }

and added a modified copy just after it.

       /* If the file is gzipped strip the .gz ending. */
       if((k > 2) && (strcmp(df->name[j] + k - 2, ".gz") == 0))
       {
         k -= 3;
         *(df->name[j] + k + 1) = '\0';
       }

And that seems to be working quite nicely.
this is for 1.5.20a
