Hi Michael,

This patch moves the zlib compression and decompression code

to be public, is moved from include/linux/ to lib/zlib/.
You could remove the (now pointless) /* WARNING: ... */ comment
from (the now truly private) zutil.h too ...
In addition, the PRESET_DICT definition from zutil.h, used by
fs/jffs2/compr_zlib.c is moved to the 'true' public zlib
header include/linux/zlib.h.
Ugh, I wish you had held on from this patch till the original thread
discussing this reached some conclusion ... from Mark's response
there it does seem PRESET_DICT is clearly an implementation
(and not interface) detail -- which means to me that it must continue
to live in zutil.h (the private header) ... but then, this change is
clearly not so critical either, so it doesn't matter much, I guess.
[ Added zlib authors Mark Adler and Jean-Loup Gailly on this
thread too. ]
