   Has anyone implemented *loading* (as opposed to editing) compressed
   files yet?  I'm not *too* eager to re-implement yet another wheel.

      The wheel was invented a long time ago, by Michael Meissner of the
  OSF.  I added his changes to the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs", and so here
  are the pertinent diffs (relative to the virginal FSF 18.58 Emacs).  You
  must #define READ_COMPRESSED_BYTE_COMPILED_FILES in config.h to turn on
  the code; otherwise the old code remains in place.

I'd like to see emacs be able to read compress info files... or is
this also a long ago invented wheel?
