    we rejected a similar patch (for 3.0) for the very same
    reason around a year ago if i recall right. but that would be
    no reason to reject it now - i agree.

    i played around with the output-compression tools that are
    around and i'm not too impressed. but who knows maybe they
    had problems with my applications simply _because_ they
    weren't written by us and integrated into php;-)

    if we have a clean enough interface for this and it doesn't
    end up as a "hack" i agree -> let's get it in.
