generic content encoding and gzip support

Hi, there! Been a while since my last email here. I'm back to doing
Squid consulting with an emphasis on push, and hope you guys are doing
well.

Joe Cooper is paying me to work on designing and implementing the
addition to Squid of generic Content-Encoding support and a gzip
Content-Encoding as a particular supported coding.

Right now, I'm in the design phase. I have a first-draft design I
hope people will be able to examine and criticise.

One thing is missing from the draft is storage issues - I'll talk
about that in a separate email.

Joe would like me to merge this stuff with squid3 HEAD when it's
working right. Please let me know if you guys see any problem with
that.
