Something like that is already on the to-do list. Note that postscript
level 2 has provisions to create files compressed with the LZW
algorithm, which is exactly the same as the one used in GIF files. I
would be surprised if there did not exist ways to produce such
compressed PS files.

KLyX is supposed to get that. I guess a GnomeLyX could get that too.
