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?
