No, -nT doesn't do that.  -nT writes a gzip header and trailer, but  
the mod time is zero and there is no file name stored.

By "naked zlib datastream", do you mean deflate data with a zlib  
header and trailer, or a naked deflate stream?

In any case, I will add to the to-do list an option for producing  
zlib streams (with zlib header and trailer), and the automatic  
recognition of such streams for decompression.
