It sounds good to me.  Would you like to write the patch?


OK. In addition to applying the patch below, someone might want to change the Makefile to gzip the appropriate files on non-Windows machines. I have no intuition about how to do that.

    * help-fns.el (help-with-tutorial): Allow tutorial files to be
    compressed with gzip.
* help.el (describe-*): Allow read files to be compressed with gzip.
    (view-possibly-compressed-file): new function to read a compressed
    file.
    (describe-extra-packages): moved here from menu-bar.el
    * menu-bar.el (menu-bar-help-extra-packages): moved to help.el.
