Just FYI, it's easy to use the LESSOPEN feature to make such
decompression automatic.

That's not so. I've looked at the source to mke2fs and experimented and the
default size varies between 1k and 4k, depending on the size of the partition.
1 GB partitions get 4k blocks, 100 mb partitions, 1k

I presonally like the 4k definition. The default blocksize used on a
partition DOES vary based on the size of the partition, and nothing
smaller than 4k is going to benefit seriously from b
