[meta-sig] encryptioin/compression sig

[PC Drew]

Okay, so I've been using Python for about a year now and the more
I use it the more I really like it (doing without ++ and -- is kinda
hard, but I'll get by!).  One thing that I've noticed is that there
isn't a real big interest in compression or encryption.  I notice this
because there aren't any modules (or a small amount) that do this!

I'm proposing a SIG that will encompass both cryptography and compression
libraries in a clean API so that users can encrypt/decrypt or compress/decompress
files or strings easily.  In addition to creating the APIs, also wrapping C
libraries of many of the popular algorithms.

Feedback?  If people are interested (or not adverse to it), then I'll draft
up a formal proposal with a name, description, and the like.
