A friend of mine put together a script and a mod_rewrite rule that would 
copy and gzip static files on the fly (saving them in an "alternate 
document root" to cache them) and deliver the compressed versions of the 
pages from the cache, only until the original file is modified.

He did it to lower his bandwidth costs on a high-traffic, realtively 
static site several years ago, posted it our web host's support forum, 
and several others started using it and fixing the bugs.  If you'd like 
i can dig it up, and ask if folks are still using (and maintaining) the 
solution...
