zlib sources removed from this tree
This, for whatever reason, breaks std::fs exception handling. All remaining external projects will be moved to use this approach soon. This is to prepare it for more new libraries which would otherwise make the tree grow even further.

-See below some functions declarations for Visual Basic.

-Frequently Asked Question:
-
-Q: Each time I use the compress function I get the -5 error (not enough
- room in the output buffer).
-
-A: Make sure that the length of the compressed buffer is passed by
- reference ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). Also check that
- before the call of compress this length is equal to the total size of
- the compressed buffer and not zero.

-Got the answer! (I haven't had time to check this but it's what I got, and
-looks correct):
-
-He has the following routines working:
- compress
- uncompress
- gzopen
- gzwrite
- gzread
- gzclose
-
-Declares follow: (Quoted from Carlos Rios <c_rios@sonda.cl>, in Vb4 form)
-
-#If Win16 Then 'Use Win16 calls.

-Here is another example from Michael <michael_borgsys@hotmail.com> that he
-says conforms to the VB guidelines, and that solves the problem of not
-knowing the uncompressed size by storing it at the end of the file:
-
-'Calling the functions:
-'bracket meaning: <parameter> [optional] {Range of possible values}
-'Call subCompressFile(<path with filename to compress> [, <path with
-filename to write to>, [level of compression {1..9}]])
-'Call subUncompressFile(<path with filename to compress>)
-
-Option Explicit
-Private lngpvtPcnSml As Long 'Stores value for 'lngPercentSmaller'
-Private Const SUCCESS As Long = 0
-Private Const strFilExt As String = ".cpr"
-Private Declare Function lngfncCpr Lib "zlib.dll" Alias "compress2" (ByRef
-dest As Any, ByRef destLen As Any, ByRef src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long,
-ByVal level As Integer) As Long
-Private Declare Function lngfncUcp Lib "zlib.dll" Alias "uncompress" (ByRef
-dest As Any, ByRef destLen As Any, ByRef src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long)
-As Long
