Just as a side note, but gzip not being able to compress it much doesn't
necessarily mean that the file was compressed to begin with. A simple
"encryption" can have that effect too (I saw it with a file that was
"decrypted" by doing something like <byte n> = <byte n> XOR <byte n-1>,
with a seed for byte -1).
