    First go at apache configuration to improve performance. · 32c16cee

    The following things are done:
    
    1) If mod_deflate is available, use it to send text/html, text/css and application/x-javascript files gzipped
    2) Remove ETags from all files. They can give benefits in some situations if configured correctly, but until they're investigated I'll just turn them off
    3) Send expires headers for a bunch of the static stuff, mainly the stuff in /theme and /js
    
    So far, this has resulted in reducing the size of the homepage from about 300K to 80K, and warm cache hits are only 2K in one request. These performance benefits apply similarly across the whole site.
