It does, but you have to say "curl --compressed".  That makes curl both
say that it accept gzipped content and decompresses it if it gets it.

Although it's "wrong" for the server to output compressed data if the
client doesn't say that it accepts it, I think it's pretty buggy not to
decode the compressed data, anyway.

I've included the new .c file below.  The attendant code change to
lisp.h/emacs.c is what you'd expect.

Now I just have to write the configure.ac code to define HAVE_ZLIB.
