[Zlib-devel] pigz 1.6 available for testing

[Mark Adler]

All,

By popular demand, pigz 1.6 is available for testing with zlib format  
compression (using the -z or --zlib option) with a .zz suffix:

Still on my to-do list is to create a configure and Makefile for the  
thing, so it has a fighting chance of compiling with the pthread  
library which turns out to be hidden behind a variety of compiler  
options on various systems.  So you are on your own for this version.

Hint: on Linux, use the -pthread option, and on Solaris use the - 
pthreads option.  On whatever, you can use -lpthread to make sure the  
linker finds it.  And of course, don't forget to link in zlib (-lz or  
libz.a).
