	Funny, I was just talking with someone this afternoon about this.
There are a few problems.  The toughest one is that every article that
passes through here has to get "phri!" prepended to its path line.  No way
to do that without going through the uncompress/compress cycle (at least,
not that I can see).  Pity.
