After discussion on bug-grep, it seems that a generalized filter is preferred. I have a design for this, but I have not implemented it, as it would be easy to implement given an implementation in gnulib of the "ig" flavour of pipe-filter, which currently does not exist. That would enable a simple and non-invasive patch.

If pipe-filter-ig is forthcoming, I'll happily produce the patch, which would add a --filter=PROGRAM flag which pipes all input through the given filter. Transparent decompression is achieved by making the filter "zcat".

Updated patch again to remove some spurious whitespace changes.

This is an updated version of the patch I submitted a year ago by email, fixed for current CVS. I am in the process of getting FSF copyright assignment forms for GNU grep, if that helps.

The patch adds transparent decompression via libz, activated via -Y, --uncompress.

If this patch is accepted I'll happily provide a patch for the documentation too; the current patch is for code only.
