You mean the functions gzopen(), gzread(), gzwrite()?

Whichever way it is done, this still only adds gzip support.
It doesn't allow to edit bzipped nor xzipped nor other kinds
of compressed files.  If we add the ability to edit zipped
files, it should be generic, it should work for all sorts
of compression -- or at least be easily extendible by just
modifying one or two lines.
