Yepp. BGZIP and its library you can link with does this. I even built
a fuse filesystem to transparently "unzip" these kind of files.

What BGZIP does is that it will restart a new dictionary every ~64k
bytes and also stores an index in a separate file.

libwiretap's gzip support requires neither of those.  It should be able to read any capture file compressed with gzip.
