Yes.  Actually, there's also a semi-official way of getting this at
configure time, like this:

 ac_cv_path_GZIP_PROG='' ./nt/msysconfig.sh ...

But this is not really a user-level feature, because to find out about
it, you need to know that gzip is being looked for by using the
AC_PATH_PROG Autoconf macro, i.e. you need to look into configure.ac
and then read the Autoconf manual, hardly something users are expected
to do.
