 Thank you goes to webchick and her writings of the jQuery Update module
 for the idea of using the hook.

+Issues
+------
+Certain hosts do not like multiple .htaccess files. To get around this issue you need to:
+
+(1) copy the text below into drupal's root .htaccess file
+
+(2) enable the "GZip JS: Do not generate .htaccess file" checkbox, together with the option "GZip JavaScript"
+
+
+Add this Inside the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> block, right before </IfModule> (add it to the bottom)
+  ### START JS GZIP ###
+    <Files *.js.gz>
+      AddEncoding x-gzip .gz
+      ForceType text/javascript
+    </Files>
+
+    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !".*Safari.*"
+    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f
+    RewriteRule ^(.*)\.js $1.js.gz [L,QSA]
+  ### End JS GZIP ###
