I think gzip, tar, unzip and bzip2 should be runtime dependencies of portage
itself. Portage needs them to unpack almost all packages. It would be hell if
we would need to add any of them as a dependency just because of the fact
that the package is offered in a tarball of some sort (most packages are).
