Summary: fileinput/gzip modules should play well

Initial Comment:
It seems to be nearly impossible to use the fileinput 
module to read gzip files, even though gzip support is 
available in the gzip module.

As a first step, it would be nice if the fileinput.FileInput 
class provided an overridable method that let outsiders 
glue the gzip module in place.

It would also be nice if there was a way to make fileinput 
just automatically support gzip files (if, for instance, it 
saw a .gz extension).
