There are still problems with Compress::Zlib, but it appears they only
happen when reading from a file descriptor and messing with the file
pointer.  e.g., one of the tests reads a small bit of data, then tries to
perform gzip functions from that point on.  If you start at the beginning
of the file, it works OK.  I wanted to figure it out before releasing it.
Not enough tuits.  Maybe this week I will put it online with the caveat
above.
