This commit adds information on reading from gzipped files to the manual and changelog.
I think this implements everything needed to close issue #12 (reading of gzipped files). We could add reading of gzipped phenotype files as well, but since most people create these from R, I guess they won't bother to zip them. Moreover, the phenotype file is currently opened and closed several times in the process of extracting all phenotype info (determining nr of samples and covariates, finding out which lines have NAs, etc), so doing that for a zipped file would be more time consuming. Implementing a "read phenotype data once" strategy in the current code isn't trivial either.
