[infinispan-dev] Compressing Marshaller Wrapper

Ok, I need a solution before the end of the day so I will choose the easiest
way.

I plan to update CloudCacheStoreConfig and add a "compress" option.
Then I only need to change two simple methods "writeToBlob" and
"readFromBlob" (thanks Adrian... next time make them protected ;-))

I will post a patch later.
