  // It's possible that the rewrite rules in .htaccess aren't working on this
  // server, but there's no harm (other than the time spent generating the
  // file) in generating the file anyway. Sites on servers where rewrite rules
  // aren't working can set css.gzip to FALSE in order to skip
  // generating a file that won't be used.
