Ok, I finally found where to download and install mod_gzip from for Apache2 (I 
think). It installed successfully, but it still isn't loaded when Apache 2 
starts.

In the httpd.conf file there is a section as follows:

<IfDefine HAVE_GZIP>
LoadModule gzip_module    extramodules/mod_gzip.so
</IfDefine>

There is a similar section for SSL. THe SSL works, but mod_gzip does not. How 
does the server determine if HAVE_GZIP is true?
