I don't think GP was asking about the decompressor, but specifically the compressor.

The FAQ has a fairly detailed answer for this though: http://prize.hutter1.net/hfaq.htm#addcomp

Yes, I didn't read the comment carefully and quickly assumed it was the standard question about including the decompressor.
