Summary: Use GIO for compressed file read / write

Initial Comment:
Now that we have Glib, we should remove the dependency on external "gzip" to read/write compressed files and use GIO instead.   The combination of GZlibCompressor and GConverterOutputstream should do exactly what we need, and then the only external dependency we can't easily get rid of is "less"/"more").

This is especially needful on Win32 where gzip may not be available.
