The gzip TODO file indicates that one of the planned features is a library of
routines that can be called to do compressed I/O.  Does anybody know of the
status of this, or if there are routines available?

I found Edward Hamrick's zipio package, but unfortunately, this only works for
zip files.

Thanks for any info.
