compression

["Brad Brad" <braddeicide@hotmail.com>]

It may not be considered a job of loop-aes, but it was be a nice feature to 
allow the option of running the data through gzip before encrypting it.  I 
looked at cloop, but you need enough swap to hold the entire partition, i 
guess it does one big zip rather than nice little 512 blocks.

Are 512 blocks too small to compress? would the dictionary take up too much 
room?  Perhaps a larger system wide dictionary could be maintained somwhere, 
i dunno, thats why i'm asking :)

Brad.
