Subject: [ITA] ncompress 5.0

Hi folks,
Noticed mention of ncompress used, saw it was unmaintained, occasionally use it
for old sources, although it appears that gzip also decompresses compress .Z,
pack .z, and zip single file formats.
Mike F/vapier has migrated ncompress from SF to Github and updated it.
It is available in Fedora up to date.
I updated the current build URIs to current GH and Fedora, rebuilt current thru
latest versions with patch updates, both locally and on GH scallywag, and got
the tests working, so I would like to adopt ncompress and provide the upgrade.
If accepted, I will follow up patches with current developer.
