That's great.  It is what I thought you were doing.  It's probably a
good idea to borrow the javadoc and get the similar zlib type code
working in Java.  I definitely prefer a pure java implementation to
the native zlib backed implementation.  I've cc'd Paul F. on this so
he can communicate with you about paper work.

Any idea how long you think it will take to implement... possibly how
the problem can be broken down into bits different people can work on?
