Why do you need to complicate matters? Just remove the Z flag from the 
applicable lines in /etc/newsyslog.conf, and you'll accomplish not 
compressing the log files entirely without patching newsyslog.

I may sound a bit harsh, but man newsyslog.conf clearly states the 
purpose of each flag, and the use of any of the flags is not 
mandatory. If you want no special treatment of a particular log file 
then change the flags for that log file in to -.

Yes, I agree to a certaint point. Use the B flag for such log files, 
and if you don't want the log file to be compressed, simply omit the Z 
flag. How hard can it be?
