decompress-maybe

Transform stream that decompress its input if it's compressed, and echoes it if not

This module accept a stream compressed using gunzip or bzip2 formats and output the decompressed stream. In case the input stream was already decompressed it returns it as-is. More compression formats could be added in the future, pull-requests are welcome :-)

This is a collaboration project between Mathias Buss "mafintosh" and Jesús Leganés-Combarro "piranna".
