Latest redumper no longer compresses skeleton files. It seems compression of skeleton files is unlikely to return for the time being.

MPF currently compresses skeletons into log zips just fine, however the result is that anyone unzipping them ends up with a massive skeleton file in their working directory.

It would be ideal if MPF could gzip compress the skeleton file during AddToArchive, resulting in *.skeleton.gzip in the log zip instead.
