ANNOUNCE: iteratee-compress 0.1

Iteratee-compress provides compressing and decompressing enumerators. Currently only gzip is provided but at least bzip is planned. Additionally more fine-control over stream (i.e. flushing) is planned. ---- Library currently depends on zlib haskell library only for sharing parameters data. However no zlib function is called (the needed functions are not exported) and the symbols it uses from necessity are deprecated. Would it be better to copy the parameters from zlib and drop the dependency? Please note also that the library do not bundle zlib (C) as zlib (Haskell) do.

I'd prefer to see you add zlib support and keep the dependency :) Jason
