[projectaon] Firefox 1.5 dislikes our SVGs

...as reported by Simon in the forum,  and the reason is that it
believes it is sent non-gzip-encoded SVG files.

If we change the file suffixes to .svgz and add this to the .htaccess
in the svg directory, both Firefox and the other SVG viewers I have
tried seems happy:

AddType image/svg+xml .svgz
AddEncoding gzip .svgz
<FilesMatch \.svgz$>
<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on No
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

(But I have no write access, and yes, this requires changing the EC.)
