It would probably be simpler to do the job in xpopple itself and get rid of the wrapper script -- I'd be happy to take a patch if someone wants to have a first attempt at it. In PDFCore::loadFile, you'd need to check for a known extension to the filename, create a temporary file with mkstemp, and decompress to it before creating the PDFDoc. It wouldn't be very hard to add a "decompress .gz zcat" config command to set up a list of known extensions with decompression commands, in much the same way that key bindings work already.
