dieter should generate .gz files too

[pbiggar]

Jetty (and hence noir) can be configured to serve .gz files if they exist, so dieter should make them exist.

I read up briefly on this topic here http://cemerick.com/2011/04/22/adding-gzip-compression-to-a-clojure-webapp-in-30-seconds/ and he doesn't mention anything about having to write the .gz files. Are you hoping to avoid jetty having to do the gzipping?

See gzip at the top of: http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-6/apidocs/org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.html

So it looks like we need both.
