uncompress support has been broken for a while, its working again now.

Currently uncompress is provided via the gunzip applet, this is done to
integrate it nicely with the gunzip|zcat|gzip commands.

Would it be usefull to anyone to seperate uncompress from gunzip, the
compress algorithm is a lot simpler than gzip so it would be smaller.

I guess it comes down to wether uncompress is usefull on its own, or
wether its there just for legacy support.

It wouldnt take much work to do... i might just do it anyway....
