0005018: Add module "gzip_static_module" to build recipe
nginx supports the delivery of pre-zipped files, e.g. application.js.gz instead of zipping application.js on the fly if a client requests a resource with "Accept-Encoding: gzip". This behaviour needs to be enabled within the nginx-configuration file (http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpGzipStaticModule#gzip_static). [^] So only people using "gzip_static on" activate that module. All others should be not affected.

To enable this option one need to configure the package with:
./configure --with-http_gzip_static_module

Today this option is not enabled during package configuration: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/nginx/trunk/Makefile [^]

Could you please enable it? I assume this will reduce the load on our web servers a lot as Rails is capable to generate those gzipped files.

Thx a lot.
