Open gzipped FITS image files

Hi,

I'd like to be able to read gzipped FITS image files, decompressing the files
on the fly.  Is this already possible (I don't see it)?  If not, then it
seems like this would be pretty easy to add to the code, by wrapping
something like "new GZIPInputStream()" around the existing input stream (with
the necessary logic to check for a compressed file, and such).

Has this been done/can this be done?

Thanks!
