Can we do the compression check more generally?  I'd like to be able to
see Image.xz/lz4/etc be able to be handled cleanly.  When you say the
compressed file, you do mean the Image.gz (for example) itself, right?
I would suggest documenting using $filesize after loading the compressed
image as that should always be set.  Thanks!
