One way around this Jamie is to gzip your files manually/programmatically whenever you make an update… see @http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/speed-up-sites-with-htaccess-caching.html Then you just use mod_rewrite or rely on apaches mod_negotiation to serve the proper file. Thats what I do on my site, you can check out the htaccess tutorial for examples of this.
