disable gzip based on user-agent

[Eden Li]

Hmm, I've been running a separate webserver that has a rule that says
"only gzip for non-IE6 browsers" without issue, so maybe it's been
fixed in Opera and Firefox (and other mainstream browsers), but not
IE6.

Anyway, is there any possible way to disable gzip based on user agent
via some directive?
