I have no clue either, but I will mention that a certain directory tree
on the webserver is gzip'd nightly. If the browser indicates that it can
handle gzip'd files, that's what the server sends. The original copy is
also kept, for the sake of less capable browsers.
For the life of me I can't recall which directory tree it is. I think
it's everything that shows up under http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/.
