 The default gzip compressor for TinyMCE works good, but half of what it
 does seems pointless.

 - It starts with the server generating some js with php (the init array),
 then sends it to the browser.

 - The browser runs it through couple of js functions, and sends most of it
 back to the server as a GET request.

 - The server then uses the GET vars (that are exactly the same it
 generated in step 1), gathers the different pieces of TMCE, compresses
 them and sends them back to the browser.

 I don't see the point of sending the init array back and forth, as all the
 settings the compressor needs to gather TMCE's pieces are available in the
 beginning. I've put together a script that does all in one step (merged
 tiny_mce_config and tiny_mce_gzip). It's a bit faster, a bit more reliable
 (eliminates possible errors in the first two steps), and will eliminate
 some of the problems with TMCE when the browser uses cached copy of the
 init array.

 To implement this in WordPress we will have to change two actions into
 filters. This will break a few plugins, so I've made compatibility
 function that capture the output (the actions are outputting js) and
 insert it into the gzipped file.

 It also includes new filter for adding external plugins to TinyMCE and has
 option to  save the gzipped file to disk for faster processing.
