Detailed Description

Zlib/bzlib2 compression layer which integrates with C++ streams.

When deflating, chops up data into DATA chunks of approximately zippedBufSz (see ctor below and ../doc/TechDetails.txt).

Maybe this should use streambuf, but 1) I don't really understand streambuf, and 2) the C++ library that comes with GCC 2.95 probably doesn't fully support it (not sure tho).
