this topic has come up on the ml several years ago already. as a result i have the attached patch applied since, like, forever.
there is one concern about the portability of the -z option of file. if it is not guaranteed (i.e., we still care for systems which don't have it), one would have to add a configure check and mc would have to pipe the data through gzip itself for systems where it is necessary.
the patch probably breaks some of the more recently added patterns, as i did only basic conflict resolution over the years. consider it a proof of concept only.
