The Phobos standard library (provided with DMD) includes zlib 
(www.zlib.net), which can handle gzip-compressed files. Unfortunately, 
std.zlib and std.zip don't seem to wrap the gzip support. You can still 
use the raw C API in module etc.c.zlib, though.
The manual for it is at http://www.zlib.net/manual.html. From what I can 
tell, gzopen, gzread an gzclose are the functions you want.

Note: I've never used this myself.
