Well, I don't know about the "modern" way of doing this that you asked for...
> FILE *file = popen("gunzip -c " + name, "r"); // 'name' is a string
> ifstream *stream = new ifstream(fileno(file));
But the old-fashioned way I did this was just to use the functions from zlib -
it was a while ago but it used to (presumably still does?) provide functions
for reading/writing compressed I/O.
As C, obviously, but they worked well from within my C++ code...
Might work.
