[Mod_gzip] mod_gzip on Mac OS X

[Tom Wiebe Lists]

Thanks, if only they all were so simple. This unix thing might just 
catch on yet. :-)

One thing I don't understand and haven't been able to find any 
definitive guide for is all the compiler instructions at the start of 
the call. I'm guessing that they're probably optimized for x86 
architecture, given that's what most people will be using.

I'm sure this is likely beyond the scope of this list, but would anyone 
like to comment on what these commands actually do and if there's 
anything different I might wish to do when compiling on a G4? Any magic 
switches to enable altivec processing?
