Summary:                    Pigz Sol8 Workaround for threads causes failures
when symlinked as /usr/bin/gzip
Description: 
One of the nice features about PIGZ is the ability to be a drop-in
replacement for /usr/bin/gzip and get the multi-threading without changing
every script that ultimately referenced GZIP (perhaps through a GTAR -Z
function).  However this workaround for Sol8 causes problems when I invoke
/usr/bin/gzip, I get this error:

/usr/bin/gzip: /usr/bin/../libexec/gzip: not found
