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.

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".
