[csw-maintainers] Bootstrap problem

For systems not having gzip already when starting to use CSW packages
they run into a catch-22 situation when CSWgzip depends on CSWcommon
which is gzipped.

To simplify that situation from any special handling I propose that we
do not compress CSWcommon. File sizes:

3.6K common-1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz
23K common-1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg

As you see it would go from 3.6 KB to 23 KB which is hardly a problem.
What do you think?
