[MINC-development] minc-patch: fixing check for gunzip

[Jason Lerch]

A small amount. If all you care about are the MINC tools then it should 
be relocateable. The libraries are a bit trickier, since the libtool 
archives remember the flags (and therefore the paths) that they were 
compiled with and will complain if they are relocated.There are a few 
other applications, such as MNI-Display, which also unfortunately still 
depend on a few files being in a hardcoded place (which is determined 
at configure time when the software is being compiled). So for the 
purposes of the installer I've set it to be hardcoded for now to avoid 
any of those issues. It is also a monolithic installer at this point 
(i.e. has all of our tools), which might not be ideal for your 
purposes.
