Say I don't have mod_deflate compiled into apache, and I don't feel like recompiling right now. What are the downsides to a manual approach, e.g. something like:

AddEncoding x-gzip .gz
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING} gzip
RewriteRule ^/css/styles.css$ /css/styles.css.gz

(Note: I'm aware that the specifics of that RewriteCond need to be tweaked slightly)
