Not a bad idea. I've added links to gzipped versions now. They're compressed
on demand so there's no size available for them.

I thought about that, but decided not to on purpose: if these links turn out
to be frequented by spambot harvesters a lot, then I have an easier way to
stop them when only accessing the files through this single script. (Like by
adding some stupid human form with a question or something.)

No problems. I had them around, so making them available wasn't much extra
work.
