You can abuse compress.sl for this. If you add the necessary values to
the arrays at the begining of the file and you enable autocompression, it
should work.

#v+
static variable Compressed_File_Exts
  = [".gz", ".Z", ".bz2", ".gpg"];

static variable Compress_File_Pgms
  = ["gzip",
     "uncompress",
     "bzip2",
     "gpg --encrypt ..."];

static variable Uncompress_File_Pgms
  = ["gzip -dc %s",
     "uncompress -c %s",
     "bzip2 -dc %s",
     "gpg --decrypt ..."];
#v-
