Well, there is ~/lib/inflate.c (gunzip()). I (the author) am attempting
right now to figure out to how hook into it. It's a bit confusing because
apparently it relies on globals as opposed to passing arguments.
Does anyone want to give me a QUICK (1 line or 2) description on how to
utilize the gunzip function? Because I think I can reduce the kernel space
footprint to around 600bytes or so (which may actually make it feasible).
TIA!
