Probably what should happen is that Twisted Web should look for the
Content-Transfer-Encoding header (or whatever it's called), and
automatically gzip if appropriate.  The response should probably be able to
indicate that gzipping would a waste of time, though -- there's not much
point to gzipping jpegs, or .gz files...
