Subject: [PATCH not ready]: allow cvsimport to use compression when talking to remote cvs server

This patch adds ability to git cvsimport use compression
when talking to remote cvs pserver (in normal cvs client using compression
makes things a lot faster so it should help here, too).

Unfortunately it doesn't work due to: new IO::Uncompress::RawInflate()
hanging at constructor. No idea why constructor wants to do read()
over a socket. Maybe whole IO::Compress stuff isn't ready to work over
sockets (that's the question to perl gurus).

Fell free to make it working/improve it. I have no idea how to make it work
at this moment.
