I would be really glad to provide zlib-ada for zlib distribution.

<<The exported functions are listed, for example,
into "win32/zlib.def", and I have the impression that not all of them
are supported by zlib-ada. In addition, there is a new zlib strategy,
Z_RLE. This one was added besides Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY, Z_FILTERED and
Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY. The value of Z_RLE is 3.>>

The last (non published version) have a Z_RLE strategy binded. ZLib-Ada have
a 2 levels of binding "thin" (zlib-thin.ads, zlib-thin.adb) and "thick" (all
other files). The "thin" binding is easier to provide, but harder to use.
Thick binding is harder to provide but easier to use. I would provide all
new zlib functions at least for "thin" binding. Give me time frame please.
