The manpage for ikmod claims it handled files compressed with gzip or
bzip2, but this doesn't work:

   MikMod error: can't load "z-motion.xm" from archive "z-motion.xm.gz".

When unpacked manually, the z-motion.xm plays fine in mikmod. I get the
same error message for .bz2 compressed mods (with .gz replaced by .bz2).

I have tried this on .s3m, and .it mods, and none of those work, either.

I can't reproduce this. With a random .it file compressed with either
gzip or bzip2, mikmod plays it fine.

I tried compressing it without the filename being embedded in the
archive, but mikmod played it fine nevertheless.

However, when I unset PATH, then it broke: mikmod relies on PATH to find
gzip/bzip2/etc. So if you still have this problem, please check your
$PATH, and make sure it is correct when you're running mikmod.
