#2123: Changes sent over the wire should be compressed

 There is currently an arbitrary 640KB limit on the size of changes,
 imposed by twisted.spread.banana.SIZE_LIMIT, see
 http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/pb-limits.html

 This becomes a problem when patches are sent that replace large
 components (see e.g. the nine patch series at
 http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2011-September/107181.html,
 which, when concatenated to be submitted
 as a try, hits about 900KB. )

 Either that limit needs to be raised or removed, or changes should be
 compressed, or both.  On slow links, compression would be a big win.
