- Because the documentation is usually (always?) used as it is shipped
  with tetex, i.e. we don't compile it ourselves. Therefore we can't
  influence this.

- Gzipping makes files still smaller. E.g. scrguide.pdf.gz is 934k,
  whereas the unzipped file is 1.4M. I just checked again that this is
  really the version with compresslevel 9.
