Cache compression is advertised as saving space in the cache in return
for a modest increase in compilation time.  For me, it is the clear
choice: I see the improved cache usage, and I do not notice the
increased time.

I wonder if any of our hackers using ccache would have the contrary
opinion.  IOW, should our configuration enable compression
unconditionally?  As an option to autogen.sh?  (FWIW, I have changed
my local set_soenv.in to enable compression unconditionally, and I
have completed one successful build.)
