Title: Attempt to provide a proxy for gzip file

My hard drive is full but some of our codes/interfaces uses matlab/spm.
So I coded an FileProxy extension to Node that uncompress the .nii.gzip files before running the interfaces, then compress the output nii files to nii.gz (though only if the output_name is specified).
It maybe not the best design, I have been thinking after that Node instances could be added a list of file preprocessor/postprocessors object to handle certain types of files.
I push it not to be included but to discuss about solution to handle spm .nii.gz files problem and maybe other interfaces I/O that I am not aware of.
What do you think?
