Documentation on Lynx and w3m are awful hard to find!
I couldn't find anything on auto_uncompress or anything else that might be put
in ~/.w3m/config.
If the file on the server is already compressed, for instance a tarball, then I
want to download it that way.
But a browser/downloader has no proper business compressing a file to be
downloaded.
I might try on a NetBSD installation where I believe I installed lynx to
compare the download automatic gzip behavior.
