[Mod_gzip] trouble compling as a static module

[Mark Maunder]

OK, solved it myself. Not sure why it works, but it works. I modified
the first line of Makefile.tmpl from LIB=libgzip.$(LIBEXT) to 
LIB=libgzip.a
And changed the configure command to
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache 
--activate-module=src/modules/gzip/mod_gzip.o 
(changed mod_gzip.a to mod_gzip.o)

I found a posting on the mod_ssl list describing a similar problem with
that module and a similar fix. Anyway, seems to have compiled ok now
with mod_gzip listed under httpd -l so I'm happy.
