The servers should be configured to *not* send a Content-Encoding header
for tarballs, MSIE screws this up:

$ HEAD http://us4.php.net/distributions/php-5.0.2.tar.gz  | grep Content-
Content-Encoding: x-gzip
Content-Length: 5628958
Content-Type: application/x-tar

adding "RemoveEncoding .gz" into distributions/.htaccess if there is one
is a good fix for Apache.  (the default config was broken like this in
releases older than 2.0.48)
