I think Mr. Fisher was refering to adding in the compressed MSDOS filesystem support into Linux. The compressed ext2 is a neat feature that I have not played with and should be usefull for limited LINUX systems, but that does not help if the system has to access a compressed DOS filesystem. Linus et. al., I would like to second the addition of the dmsdos compression into the 2.1.X kernel ASAP. (Maybe even add the ntfs as an ALPHA option?)
