Hi Stas,

we probably need phk's attention for the second part of the question, but here's
at least a first attempt.

Because some subtle changes to zlib were needed to allow for an efficient
integration of (un)compression into Varnish.

-> phk

At any rate, you should not assume the libvgz interface to be stable.
