Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:15 neteler]:

 > What about having a "null2" file which is compressed and with index. If
 present, fine, otherwise use the uncompressed well known null file format?

 Please test attachment:compressed_nulls.diff

 Note that r.null and r.support will also require some changes, as they
 assume that the file consists of nothing but the null data (i.e. no
 index).
