'queenrebuild' is a bit different from the others in that it doesn't 
necessarily compress the datafile.
What it does is it rebuilds the datafile (as the name implies) of 
foreign/non-freewared versions to remove the dependency on queen.tbl; 
compression is optional - even though I'm sure most people will 
compress it in the process.
But I agree that unity is good, so we should probably rename it for the 
sake of consistency, even though it does not 100% reflect the 
capabilities of the tool.
compress_* sounds good to me, btw.
