rsyncable gzip


I tried to patch gzip-1.2.4 from gnu mirrors, using patch from
http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/gzip.rsync.patch. Patching OK. I run
  GZIP='--rsyncable --fast' tar -xzf file.tar.gz /directory/
It complains that it cannot find the files named `--fast` and
`--rsyncable`. I tried
  GZIP='--rsyncable --fast'; export GZIP
... and then `tar ...`. Further, I tried `gzip --rsyncable file` and
same error (file not found). I tried single quotes (') and double (")
when passing the string to GZIP enviro variable.

Any advice to get --rsyncable on gzip in Cygwin?
