ok, what you can do is this:

check if HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING has some of
gzip, deflate, sdch or whatever you think makes sense
and live-compress if enabled via uci and it _is_ a
static file. (i think the cgi-case is more complicated)
also take care of the headers, you must set something like:

'Content-Encoding: gzip'

unsure what to do with 'content length' because you
only know this after compression, but you should do it
chunkwise...
