Compression and decompression; among other things, it's used in XEmacs'
new PNG (graphics) support.

libgz is the old name, though; if that's what RedHat uses, they're going
to break a lot of makefiles.

In case anyone is interested, PNG and zlib info can be found at

Hmmm. If that's so, I'd think libtz.a would make a little more sense...
