10.Work is currently under way on creating a ppp module. Once this is
complete, it will require additional work to possibly auto-load the
compression routines. Until then, users would need to manually load

on-top-of ppp, and which call back to ppp for "registration";
thus, ppp itself cannot list the compressors as dependencies.
