Hi, when I looked at the Makefile I noticed it has incomplete compression support. Most notably the screen and uninstall targets didn't support switching to a different compression type. More precisely, uninstall supported only switching from gz or bz2 (but not xz) to uncompressed. The screen target had no explicit compression support and when it worked for compressed files it was pure luck. The patches 2 and 3 provide new recipes for both targets that can handle any combination of the supported compression types. Any file, installed or source, may be uncompressed or compressed with any of gz, bz2, or xz. Whether you compress before or after screen and uninstall doesn't matter any more. The other patches add a few minor improvements I'd suggest.
