It's a good idea - I've wanted to support that. Could you add detecting
if zlib isn't installed so it doesn't blow up?

Also you need to agree to give copyright to glyph or whatever the
current phrasing is (see doc/legal).

Here's a question for the list in general - wouldn't it better to do the
compression in a thread?
