It's not systematic, hence the concern.  gzReadFilePS can accept either
gizipped files or not (which is useful because you don't know if the
remote repo has chosen compression, or in case you are grabbing patch
files from multiple repos), but this means you can't tell if
the underlying file has been gzipped by darcs or not.
