+- Make result compression in the bundler optional
+  
+  Calling kiwi result bundle will take the image build results
+  and bundle the relevant image files according to their image
+  type. Depending on the result configuration this could instruct
+  the bundler to compress one or more files from the result.
+  By default this compression is switched off in the bundler but
+  can be activated to save storage space and speedup download
+  of the image with the following runtime configuration:
+  
+  bundle:
+- compress: true|false
+  
+  If compression is activated the result image has to be
+  uncompressed before it can be used. This Fixes #901
