Use one or the other for compression of HTTP.  They can't work
together because they perform basically the same function.

IIRC, mod_gzip has rich set of configuration directives for
controlling when it is used or not.

mod_deflate is slim on configuration directives and instead relies on
generic Apache directives that control filters and environment
variables for controlling when it is used or not.

(I've never seen/used mod_gzip for 2.0 so I don't know if migration of
mod_gzip to a filter led to a change in the configuration mechanisms.)
