does libhttpseverywhere have to have a 7MB uncompressed file of rules in the files dir?

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

This file has annoyed me on a number of occasions. I work with a full git checkout and tend to use utilities like ‘git grep’ a lot, and this file often gets a hit in those searches, and due to its size spams the results rendering it almost impossible to view any after that file.

One option, if the port still needs to patch these rules, would be to store it compressed in git, and uncompress it on the fly during patching
