With "gzip_static always" patch you are able to return .gz even to 
clients which doesn't support it.

With gunzip filter you are able to gunzip gzipped responses for 
clients which doesn't support gzip.

When used together they allow exactly what you asked for - one .gz 
file on filesystem, returned unmodified to clients which does 
support gzip, uncompression on the fly for clients which 
does not support gzip.
