Hmm.  Cygwin is available for Windows, which provides a gzip.exe you
could use.  So perhaps this approach is ok from a cross-platform
perspective, with the caveat that you may need to install a gzip
executable if your system doesn't already come with one -- and in fact
there's GzipFile or whatever in the standard python library, so we could
always fall back to that...

Just some random thoughts.
