In approx, I just use a Sys.command call to decompress to a temporary
file and then open that. It has these benefits:
* for gzip at least, it's faster than camlzip
* easily detects corrupted files (reading the output stream of a
decompressor doesn't do that until it's too late)
* easy to change compression schemes or support multiple ones based
on file extension, say
